What can be used to clean a glass shower with hard water stains on it?

I live in a hard water area of FL and have always used vinegar and elbow grease. But years ago I discovered Clean Shower and spray down my shower doors after showering, which helps a lot. I've got friends who squeegee doors after each shower, but I don't have the patience. I've also heard of using rainex (sp?) on doors so water just runs off, but don't actually know anyone whose done that, so can't vouch for that method. The last set of shower doors that I got are opaque on the inside with a design and that means that a few hard water spots won't show that much - love 'em!! Hope this helps!

We don't have glass doors, just shower curtains, but it gets hard water buildup off our brushed nickel faucets. Honestly, I'd personally try straight or diluted vinegar first, but this would be a good, non-toxic option to try if that doesn't help.

I have one glass cooktop at my third home, and yes the steamer has the capability to remove the hard grease stains. It will take some time for the steamers to remove it because the grease itself been on there for a long time. You should use soft cloth for rubbing it off while you are aiming the stream on the grease.

Any cleaning solution - or even water. Just dilute cleaner according to directions

It can clean soot off of fireplace doors, so I am pretty sure it can clean glass shower doors.

Steam will not remove hard water stains. Use a remover for lime and stains. Be sure to wear gloves when applying product.I am pleased with the cleaning when using steam.

The steamer will certainly HELP break up the old mildew and guke but may NOT completely remove it. After steaming, I would go over the build up with a slightly scratchy pad and a product called "Eliminate" that you can get at Home Depot. Eliminate is similar to muriatic acid so use CAREFULLY - - - it is designed to cut through the white calcium build up that you sometimes see around pots on patios. It also works well to clean glass shower doors but - - - again - - - - wear gloves and don't get it in your eyes! Hope this helps - WO

use ash from fp. when it's cold, dip a damp cloth in the ash and scrub the glass. Another review mentioned this when I was looking for a glass cleaner. Works great!! no $$$ : )

Hi Bill, I haven't used it on glass but I don't know why it wouldn't work. It's great on ceramic, stainless, etc. I would either keep it off the metal or test an inconspicuous spot first as I had another cleaner damage the chrome on my shower door.

A great way to clean tea/coffee stains naturally is baking soda mixed with vinegar, it works wonders on so many things including mold on grout etc and it is safe for septic systems. I use an old toothbrush and it cleans fantastically.

I just use water. There is a cleaner they recommend in the user manual for tough cleaning but I have not used it.

I have used this on glass stove top and porcelain china also to remove hard water residue. Didn't think it worked on the stove top any better than other cleaners for glass tops. It did do a phenomenal job cleaning the discoloration on dishes with hard water residue from the dishwasher.

Donna, if your shower doors are really bad off, try using a razor blade and 0000 steel wool (only use the 0000 grade). Bar Keeper's friend has been said to help, but I had calcium deposits from our water so I found Lime-A-Way to be best. It was amazing how fast the doors cleaned up using that combination.

I would use a windex type of cleaner. This is rather thick and smelly...like gasoline or something. I actually do not like the product much. Ok for smaller thins like glasses.

You probably could, but, scouring is probably not the recomended method. There are cleaners out there that would do a fairly good job without ruining the finish on the tub. Talk to your hardware store expert. I believe Kaboom may be one of their suggestions. Remember that stains, lime build up an soap scum may take different products to do the cleaning. Good luck!

A bit of dish detergent and a cloth or sponge works fine...just be sure to rinse well to get soap off.
