How can I clean off the water spots on my windows?

Make a mixture of white vinegar mixed with blue dawn and jet dry.

When your windows are sparkling clean, coat both sides with rain-x. It helps repel water & debris on glass.

'Spots' most often come from 'splash'. Cure your splash up problems . You may have dirty sash, mullion, sill, or plants problems fronting your windows. You also may not be drying the windows properly.

Good luck!

We tried everything!!! We finally found a product called Driven Extreme Duty Glass Cleaner. It works! Steep in price, but lasts a long time AND better than continually wasting time trying other products and mixes.

Thank you, everyone. I will check out all of these options.

Long, long, long ago we used glass wax (1950's). Then it was made by S C Johnson. I used to get a small catalogue that sold all kinds of retro things. Like Chef Boyardee spaghetti sauce that isn't carried in stores now, Maypo cereal, cleaning products, Evening In Paris Perfume, retro kitchen gadgets, etc., etc. I am no able to find it now. It came in a pink can, you wiped it on with a cloth, when it dried to a haze wipe off with soft dry cloth. It was wonderful.

vinegar! Straight white vinegar and elbow grease. If that doesn't work try buffing them off with wet dry fine grit sand paper. You soak the sand paper in water for a few minutes before using and then keep it wet while using. I use it to clean the glass panes of my front house lights. It will not scratch but to be safe do a test area first.

If your windows have hard hard water spots that have been baked on by the sun then the wet dry sand paper will be the quickest and fastest solution. Once done do put a water repellent on the glass so you are not out there again real soon.

Good luck with this.

blue dawn on scrub brush hot water wipe dry...you won`t believe it but dawn does not streak

I use Mother's carnuba wax. It is the same products used for show cars. It cleans, polishes and protects. Rain-X also sells a good product, though I don't recall the name. Hands-down, the automotive products work the best for cleaning and protecting.

A Norwek cloth and distilled water. Amazing results.

I use bar keepers friend. I make a paste of it and water, rub it on with a green scrubber, let sit til it dries and scrub it off.

Toothpaste. That's how the company that made the Hubble Telescope cleaned the mirrors in it.
