Bruce's GSR Cleans Water Spots

[Bill Shaheen]

After several days of trying every concotion imaginable to remove the
hardwater deposits from our glass block shower stall, we tried Bruce's
GSR Glass Water Spot & Stain Remover, which I found at the local ACE
hardware.

Also found their website: http://www.brucesgsr.com/

Used with 0000 steel wool, it removed the spots entirely, albeit with
a couple passes of heavy scouring. But, it was a 5-year buildup.

I suspect the mineral deposits may have actually been etched into the
glass and that in fact I was polishing a layer away, rather than
removing a deposit.

At any rate, the glass looks terrific.

How can deposits be etched into something?

Ouch! Steel wool will scratch glass. An acid or CLR should have
dissolved the deposits. You could scrub glass with a nylon brush or
net without concern about scratches.
