 The advantage of hard water stain removal: Hard water stains form on windows that are exposed to over-spray from lawn irrigation systems. Mineral deposits in the water collect on the glass and appear as a hazy white or sometimes yellow film. If left on the glass, this film will etch the glass over a period of time. Your windows can be safely restored by professional chemical application service, eliminating the risk of expensive window replacement. Below are different examples of staining: Stains are caused by the following situations: Sprinkler Stain: This stain. is caused by a sprinkler system placed to close to the glass. The spray is directed in such a way that it hits the glass on a- regular basis. These stains can also be developed from winds that blow the water on the glass over a period of time. Calcium, salts or magnesium. from the local water system cause most sprinkler stains. Condensation Stain: This stain is caused by water collecting under the first few inches of a window frame along the top. The sun does not evaporate the morning dew and over time this can cause a stain. Building Run-off Stain: The minerals present in building materials such as limestone, Portland cement, brick or other materials leaching on to the glass surface after rains cause this stain. Screen Burn: Some windows have what is known as "screen burn" which can appear as anything from small water spots to a heavy gray or rust-colored haze on the outside of the glass. This occurs as a result of rain water passing through the screen and depositing oxidized metal onto the glass. These deposits do not wash or scrape off, and a special treatment must be used to restore the glass to its original shine.
