Hard water deposits form when salt residues adhere to glass surfaces. These alkaline mineral deposits result from exposing glass to water with a high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content. When water with more than 20 parts per million TDS evaporates, it leaves behind mineral traces. In their initial stages, these deposits sit on the glass surface and begin to form ionic bonds with trace elements in the glass’s outer layers. Because these bonds haven’t fully solidified yet, it’s easier to remove the deposits during this early stage.
You can remove hard water deposits using GlassRenu’s Hard Water Deposit Removal Tools: Cutting Compound, Foam Finishing Disks, Polishing Compound, and Polishing Felts.
