Windows can accumulate hard water stains over time, especially if you live in an area with hard water or use hard water, such as well water, to water your lawn. Hard water stains are caused by minerals in the water, such as calcium and magnesium, which can leave unsightly spots and streaks on your windows. Fortunately, there is a simple solution for removing these stubborn stains: Barkeepers Friend.

Barkeepers Friend is a powerful cleaner that is effective at removing a wide range of stains, including hard water stains. It contains oxalic acid, which is a mild abrasive that can break down and remove mineral deposits from glass surfaces. Here’s how you can use Barkeepers Friend to remove hard water stains from your windows:

1. Prepare the Window: Before you begin cleaning, make sure your windows are dry and free from any loose debris or dirt. You can use a dry cloth or a vacuum to remove any loose dirt or debris from the surface.
2. Apply Barkeepers Friend: Using a damp sponge or cloth, apply a small amount of Barkeepers Friend to the surface of the window. Make sure to work in small sections to ensure that the cleaner doesn’t dry out before you have a chance to rinse it off.
3. Scrub the Surface: Using a soft-bristled brush or scrubber, gently scrub the surface of the window in a circular motion. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can scratch the glass. Continue scrubbing until the hard water stains have been removed.
4. Rinse the Surface: Once you have finished scrubbing, rinse the surface of the window thoroughly with clean water. Make sure to remove all traces of the cleaner to avoid streaking.
5. Dry the Window: Finally, use a dry cloth or squeegee to dry the surface of the window. This will help to prevent any water spots or streaks from forming.
