How to Remove Water Stains on Windows

Keeping your place neat can be difficult at times. However, making certain that you won’t ever miss a spot makes it even more challenging, especially in certain areas where water leaves marks. In this post, windows company, Renewal by Andersen® of St Louis, will give you tips on how to get rid of hard water stains quickly.

How to Remove Water Stains on Windows

Follow this step-by-step process:

  1. Prepare a mixture of water and vinegar of equal amounts.

  2. Soak a towel in the solution.

  3. Press it onto the window, and let it sit for at least a minute or two. In this step, the acidity will soften the mineral deposits, making them easier to wipe off.

  4. Continue pressing and wiping the towel on the window until the visible spots disappear. Keep in mind that you may be required to repeat the process several times until all the spots are gone.

  5. Let the window dry with a rag.

On the other hand, if you wish to save more time and money, there are also self-cleaning windows for homeowners. This would help prevent the risk of accidents when people wobble up ladders with buckets of water.

It can be noted that self-cleaning windows have a very thin outer coating of titanium dioxide. This is a white, powdery titanium compound best known for giving that dazzling gleam to paint, toothpaste and all kinds of other bright white things. Its coating is thin, and it is created to reduce the light passing through the glass by at least 5%.

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
