−	~~I am NOT talking about~~ Limeaway or CLR. These products simply do not work. It may take a couple of days to receive your spot removal product but it is well worth the wait. Also, all supplies and services have been tested and used by me on actual jobs so I know they work and trust the sources to purchase them from. My favorite Hard water Stain Remover is Bio-Clean~~, so make sure you look for it when making a hard water stain product purchase~~. ~~Once you have your hard water stain remover in hand, you~~ will need either a white ~~and I specify WHITE~~ scrub pad not green~~!!,~~ and or a cloth towel or rag to apply the solution.	+	The first thing you will need is a quality hard water stain remover. Not Limeaway or CLR. These products simply do not work. My favorite Hard water Stain Remover is Bio-Clean. You will need either a white scrub pad (not green) and or a cloth towel or rag to apply the solution. The idea here is to not scratch the glass while you are removing the hard water stain.

	The next step is to apply the stain remover to your rag or scrubber (an amount the size of a fifty pence piece is enough at first). Apply this to the glass rubbing in a circular fashion until it starts to feel more smooth to the touch. The next step is to apply the soap and water solution again to the window. After the window is soaped up, use your squeegee to remove soap and water. It may take a couple of attempts to completely remove the stain. Just repeat the process until the hard water stain is completely removed.
