Windows Water Stained

[A. Pismo Clam]

Hello All,

We've just moved in and the windows around the house are terribly water
[mineral?] stained! We've tried ammonia, Lime Away, and CLR with no help.

Is there an product or a mixture of some cleansers that will take the
stains away!?

Many thanks for taking the time to respond!

Alain

Perhaps your windows are thermo-pane windows and have leaked. In this
case there is little that can be done except replacement.

They are single pane windows...

Try a solution of white vinegar and water. I use this to remove hard
water (calcium) spots from windows, and cars (hit by sprinklers).

A little elbow grease, also.
