Getting Hard Water Spots off of Glasses - J. C

I see you have many responses...here is one more
get stuff called Lemon Shine. YOu guet it by the dishwsasher sopa and add it to the dishwasher with each load. It costs about $2 and works wonderfully!

Soak them in vinegar. They should look like new!

IF you have a dishwasher, try using Electrosol -the retangles with the red dot in the middle. I was using jetdry in addition to my detergent and I had horrid spots. After a few washes, my glasses no longer have spots.
If you don't have a dishwasher, I would try the vinegar routine.

vinegar is probably the way to go, also try CLR.

Hi J. - I have your solution. It may sound crazy but it works. Load up your dishwasher with your glasses...and anything else that has hard water spots and INSTEAD of any detergent use ONE packet of Kool-Aid Lemonade. Just the packet, no sugar, nothing else. Your glasses will look brand new. I keep 5 packets on hand and will run my dishwasher every so often with just a packet of lemonade....makes them smell good too.

Cheers, E.

The only thing i have found that works is viniger.t's great for calcium deposits and many other things..i just pour a little in a glass and rub it around . You could probably add some water and soak, but i think it should work unless they are etched from high heat from the diswasher and i have found that nothing works for this.

Step1
Think acid. Anything with acidity can help clear away hard water stains on any surface.
Step2
Use pure white vinegar in a spray bottle to work on hard water stains on glass doors. Many people use vinegar to clean coffee makers, dishwashers and garbage disposals. After the stains dissipate, follow up often with white vinegar to keep the stains from coming back.
Step3
Scrub with a lemon. Cut a lemon in half and rub it directly on the stain. The acidity should cut through the soap scum.
Step4
Mix 1 teaspoon of Calgon in a gallon of water. Wash the stained area and rinse well with water.
Step5
Try a paste of white vinegar and baking soda on soap scum stains created by hard water. Let the paste sit on the stain for a while before rinsing thoroughly with water.
Step6
Shop around. If vinegars and lemons aren't cutting it, you may need a more potent approach. Check out hardware stores and grocery aisles for more stringent chemical cleaners. To remove lime scale, you need a cleaner with sequestrants. Always be sure to follow the manufacturer directions and use in a well-ventilated area.

Use vinegar and water! You might have to let it soak a little while.
Good luck!!

White vinegar works well. We have used it on windows at work. Also in the detergent isle I have been buying this lemon detergent. I dont remember the name but it is in a plastic canister awith a green top, Albertsons carries it. You use a little bit of that and the regular powder Cascade and my dishes have never been so spotless. K.
