I use a bunch of used fabric softener sheets dipped in vinegar. Took the film off that other cleaners didn't. Also noticed any softener residue slows down the buildup.Helpful Reply -

Using a squeegee will also ensure you are removing all the dissolved lime deposits.... they have them at the Dollar Tree.Helpful Reply -

Have you tried vinegar & water or the Magic Eraser. Both are good at cleaning things up. If you've tried both of them, I'd call the company that makes Lime Away to see if they have an answer.Helpful Reply -

I did not think you could use lime away on glass... but maybe you can. The best product ever I have used on hard water film? For lack of a better word is dawn dishwashing liquid. I have tried vinegar, and other things with no luck. The kicker is I have soft water(water softener) however I was told that bar soap(hubbie uses bar soap) will leave the residue (near the bottom of frameless shower doors). I tried everything over the the years to the point I never want shower doors again. But someone suggested Dawn and I thought heck it works great on my dishes! why not? Best decision ever. I used a plastic scrubbee, dawn, hot shower water. good luck.Helpful Reply -

I'm with Sunnysgirl46. I use Barkeepers Friend in the spray bottle on shower stalls, tubs, and glass doors with a kitchen sponge....works terrific! I even use it on my glasstop stove, stainless sink, and laminate counters....voila, looks new. I can't say enough about it. Best of luck.Helpful Reply -

try some Calgon water softenerin heavy concentration in water and use one of those green scrubbies. It also disolves and residue on your tub. Just be careful of the slickness like a brand new tub surface after.Helpful Reply -

Try baking soda. Wet regular sponge to apply baking soda on the glass. Scrub glass with soda and rinse with regular water or a mixture 1:1 ratio water and vinegar. Wish you luckHelpful Reply -
