Janet Pizaro on Feb 11, 2016Heres another possible solution for you. 1/2 gallon of warm water mixed in a spray bottle with1 tablespoon of Jet Dry and 2-3 tablespoons of Dawn detergent. Spray the windows down with solution and leave on enough time to allow the solution to remove the spots. Rinse off and dry with a microfiber towel.Helpful Reply

MN Mom on Feb 11, 2016Whichever products you choose wipe one side of your window horizontal and the other vertically. That way you will be able to spot which side actually has the smear or stain that hasn't been cleared up. I'd use white vinegarHelpful Reply

Darice Langaas Kessler on Feb 11, 2016I used CLR last year on my windows. They were badly stained from years of irrigation water that the previous owner never cleaned off. Worked like a charmHelpful Reply

Suzann on Feb 11, 2016Last year I cleaned my windows that had twenty years of water deposit on them. I used a product called "bio-clean." I tried CLR and it didn't even touch it. I was able to get my windows sparkling clean. They were so bad that it was difficult to see through them and I thought it was hopeless. I spread some on the glass, let it sit for a few minutes and then scraped it off with a razor blade scraper. The kind that uses a single razor blade. I bought the bio-clean from a local glass store. Since my windows were so thickly covered it took a lot of elbow grease to clean but for windows that aren't that bad a soft cloth would work. This stuff works so easily and so well I would encourage you to try it.Helpful Reply
