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%.

"Have nothing but great things to say about the window installation done today by John Hutchinson with Renewal by Andersen! He was friendly, personable and professional and did a great job installing. He did a great job of putting down roller pads and tarps with next to zero clean up. Would highly recommend them for any window replacement needed!"

"We had our new Renewal by Andersen windows installed on June 5th & 6th, 2025 and we LOVE them! The quality, beauty, and functionality are best-in-class! The whole experience from dinner presentation at Lazy River Grill, the initial in-home sales consultation and measurement, the regular communications from the salesman and concierge, and the installation team’s professionalism and skills made the process so seamless. This is the second home we have opted for Renewal windows and doors and have been delighted both times! Thank you Renewal by Andersen STL! "

"I had an excellent experience with RbA STL. Our designer, Courtney, was great and the finished product is awesome. The installation was easy and the gentlemen left our home cleaner than they found it upon entering. I would recommend RbA STL - you’ll get tired from their constant contacts, and that’s a GOOD thing!"
