Water stains come in two basic forms: Hard Water Stain Accumulation (HWSA) and Hard Water Stain Etching (HWSE).
In the case of Hard Water Stain Accumulation (HWSA), calcium carbonate (i.e. hard water stain) has built up upon the surface of the glass or other surface.
In the case of Hard Water Stain Etching (HWSE), a chemical reaction has taken place at the substrate (just at and below the surface) whereby the “stain” has become embedded into the silica dioxide (glass, porcelain, etc).
In order to remedy the HWSE problem, you must literally “resurface” the glass or silica surface.
Here are the basic steps required to Resurface glass and porcelain surfaces:
1. First keep in mind that the Brite and Clean is a powder that needs water to activate it into a paste.
2. After folding your cleaning/polishing cloth, dampen it with a spray bottle and then wring out as much excess water as you possibly can.
3. Sprinkle about a half-dollar size amount of the Brite and Clean onto your slightly damp cleaning towel.
4. You want the powder to form into a semi-dry flakey consistency (between a dry powder and a wet paste).
5. Place three fingers behind your cleaning towel and begin scrubbing in small circular motions (about the size of a half-dollar).
6. You will need to use a generous amount of pressure/elbow grease in this process. Make sure that you do not press too hard as to break the glass, but use enough pressure to make your towel feel like it is “sticking” to the surface.
7. As you persistently scrub the affected area with small circular motions, you will need to periodically stop and apply more Brite and Clean to your towel.
8. Use a spray bottle to lightly mist your towel to help maintain the powder in a “dry flakey paste”.
9. To test the effectiveness of your resurfacing efforts, use a dry towel to wipe off a small area. You are looking to see that the glass is clear (not hazy) or that the porcelain surface is shiny.
The key in resurfacing is to work in a small area, test regularly to verify the effectiveness of your efforts (with a dry towel) and then move onto the next area. Be patient knowing that your efforts are going to save you the cost and inconvenience of having to replace the Hard Water Stain Etched (HWSE) surfaces.
If you have large areas that need Resurfacing, you may find that an orbital buffer or sander using a cleaning towel may expedite the Resurfacing process. With this technique, it takes time to become proficient. But again, follow the instructions above, being persistent and patient. Your investment of time and effort will pay off!
After you've removed all the hard water stains throughout your place, put an end to your streaky windows, mirrors and other shiney surfaces using just water and our reusable, lint free microfiber towels. You will save money no longer constantly having to buy paper towels and spray window cleaner. Plus you save time and effort and have cleaner windows too.
These BriteWipes microfiber towels compare with the professional grade glass cleaning towels that sell for upwards of $5 each, for almost half the cost.
Think cleaning can't get any easier? You need to try the Clean Green microfiber gloves. Dust on surfaces just doesn't stand a chance. Small details and hard to reach places are no match for you when you have the Clean Green microfiber gloves.
Just when you thought you've found the fastest way to clean and dust - put the glove on the other hand and now you can clean and dust with both hands at the same time - cutting cleaning time in half !

This is a great product! I have an older motorhome (86) that has years of hard water marks on the glass. Nothing I have tried has even taken off 10% after working like a dog, rubbing etc. This stuff works great! My coach looks like it has new windows, as well as my car. I would suggest only one thing: consider making your product in a paste form.

Just moved to southern Oklahoma with a water well. I tried every product on the market to get hard water spots off the windows, shower doors, and sinks to no avail. Found your product on the internet and figured I would try one more. WOW.....was I impressed. Hard water spots are gone in the entire house, both inside and out, with little effort I might add. Great product and will be ordering again. THANKS

I am following up to tell you that your product is everything you claim it to be. Simple Cleaning Solution is the product I have been looking for to clean all my shower surfaces, especially the glass. It makes the glass look like brand new. I will talk it up amongst my friends, but so I can tell them where they can buy this miracle cleanser, were you able to sell to the Ace Hardware in Rockwall, Texas? If not, where is the closest location that you are certain carries SCS? Once again, I am a big fan and I will beat the drum for your product!

If I really like a product, especially from a smaller company, I always try to write and tell them so, and I have to tell you – I’m absolutely amazed by Simple Cleaning Solution. I have been dealing with hard water stains for the past 6 years; we have a well and we also have clear glass vessel sinks and waterfall faucets in our master bath. The sinks aren’t much of a problem, but the faucets are TERRIBLE. The water doesn’t always run out, and the standing water has made the white mineral stains a nightmare. I have tried EVERYTHING – CLR, Lime Away, vinegar, foot pumice – which actually appears to have clouded one of my faucets. I was looking at something that led to a link on your site, and I thought, why not? It’s not that expensive, and if it works I’d be thrilled, if not, I’ll get my money back. I didn’t use it for a few days, not really expecting too much anyway. When I did use it, I was stunned. This is the best product in the world for hard water stains – my stains are GONE and they’ve been there a good long while – I’d say two years, easily. It took almost no effort on my part and it almost seems as if the product is helping the water to run off easier now that it’s cleaned. You have a customer for life and I will tell anyone I know about this product. This is absolute genius!

My local True Value hardware store stocks it, and I went in because of terrible water spots on the windows of my motorhome. Voila! A little of your product on a damp rag and the windows literally look "sterile" clean!

We have this large picture window that has been covered with stubborn hard water stains for these past 20 plus years. Through trial and error we have totally tried everything from using vinegar by itself, water and vinegar, vinegar with baking soda, peroxide with vinegar, lemon juice, tooth paste, canola oil to loosen the stain, RCL, CLR, Lime Away and Phosphoric Acid. None of these solutions worked. One day our son was on the internet and saw your post on Utube "Simple Cleaning Solution" and the next day he asked us to order your product. "What have you got to lose, it wouldn't hurt to try it as we've tried everything else", he said So we received your product Simple Cleaning Solution and used it and it really works. Thank you a million times over. It only too three applications to remove the 20 plus years of hard water stains. We definitely will recommend your product to others.

We just purchased two bottles of your Simple Clean Solution for our Camp. We have 3 months of counselors staying in the cabins and our shower doors are glass. Being the young people that they are they don’t wipe down the glass doors when they’re done. Your product worked magic!! The water stains came off without a pain staking struggle and our housekeepers were very, very pleased. I just wanted to send you a note and let you know we are extremely happy costumers. Thank you!!

Hello my name is Gerald, I have been in the window cleaning business for a few years. And about two years ago I found the most awesome hard water stain remover.SIMPLE CLEANING SOLUTION! I ordered one bottle, used it on my own house and was sold. I started including hard water stain removal as a specialized service to my customers and my client base increased and is still increasing! When I started my business I did not want to do calcium - hard water stain removal, but this product changed my mind. My clients are amazed at the results, and that I am able to save them so much, not only in dollars but in time, since they don't have to get bids from different contractors to replace their windows. A few days ago I finished cleaning some windows for a client, Her response? WOW! I ask her what she said and she responded, Gerald you have a WOW factor! So I challenge you buy one bottle, and I am sure you will be sold as well.

Great product. My husband sprayed the west facing wall of our house with well water last summer to help cool it down. We have a stucco house and the water sheeted down over the windows bringing with it well water minerals and what ever leached out of the stucco. Nothing would touch it, CLR, vinegar, Windex and Limeaway did nothing. You are right, a little elbow grease and the product removed the film and water spots off the windows. They sparkle, thank you for restoring my windows to new. They are only 2 years old and we were heart broken that we ruined them.

My wife and I just installed all new windows in our home and a new stainless steel sink in the kitchen. The water here in TX. is very hard and always staining my new front windows from the lawn sprinklers. In the past I’ve had to wet the windows with a window cleaner and then scrap then with a razor blade to try and clean them. It took over a half hour per window to do the job. And not scratch the glass with the razor blade. Then I discovered The Simple Cleaning Solution. I’ve tried every thing in the past and nothing worked. So I wasn’t expecting this product to work either. I ordered a sample and gave it a try. Wow is all I can say. I was shocked at how quick and easy it was to clean the window. The window was so stained I couldn’t even see out of it. I just used a damp cloth, poured a little cleaner on it and wiped. Stain came right off, that easily. In 5 minutes the window was clean and clear. I’ve never bothered to talk about some company’s product but this one really worked without a lot of effort.

Modern homes use of beautiful natural granite and man-made or engineered quartz in the home's bathrooms and kitchen looks great when its new and clean...not so much when it has lost its shine due to hard water stain build-up
Use BRITE & CLEAN'S Ultimate Hard Water Stain Remover® to get rid of stains around the base of the faucet's fixtures. It truly is amazing how well it works, we GUARANTEE it.
