    If spots and haze remain, fill a dishpan with warm water.

    Add 3 or 4 drops of dish soap and 2 or 3 drops of ammonia to the water. Soak the glassware in the solution until the water cools.

    Rinse the glassware with clean water, and buff it dry with a clean towel.

    1.Combine a paste of vinegar and baking soda. This natural solution is the cheapest formula to remove hard water stains from glass.

    2 Apply the paste to the hard water stains using a scrubbing sponge in a circular motion. Work the hard water stain while applying this paste and allow it to sit for 15 minutes.

    3.Wipe off the paste with a damp towel and remove excess water with a squeegee. If you are lucky your hard water stains will be removed. If your stains have been sitting for several years you may need to further clean your glass.

    4.Apply a cream stove-top cleaner to the remaining hard water stains in a circular motion with a scrubbing sponge. Allow the stove-top cleaner to dry for 15 minutes.

    Buff the dried stove-top cleaner with a towel. Your glass will now be free of hard water deposits. You will need to repeat this process once every six months to keep your glass free of hard water build-up.

    Dawn dish soap & hot water & a razor blade. Get the window wet then use the razor blade gentle scrape it, Do not do this on a dry window or you will scratch it. Then rewash the window and use a squeegee and several clean rags to wipe the edges of the window.
