        Hard water spots on shower door…f’n kicking my ass. Was reading on the interwebs to use a hammer and then replace the glass 🤣

        At this point, I’m seriously considering it.

            Are you saying the hard water is leaving spots that don’t get clean or you just want to keep them from forming as the glass dries?

              Scraping with a squeegee after every shower is annoying, but better than constantly cleaning with glass cleaner.

                @endo I try to dry mine with a towel after I shower and keep telling myself it’s easier in the long run.

                  This is the way.

                    I used a scrubbing sponge with bar keeper’s friend to remove most of the spots. I have a few stubborn areas where the build up was a bit worse than the rest that I’m still struggling to remove. Going to keep working at it…

                    Yes, squeegee is the way and neglect leads to spending afternoons swearing…

                        @goosehd What hardness is your water? Have you considered a water softening system?

                          @Tago-Mago We put in a water softener because of water spots. When we first built the house, we went a few years before installing one and got build up on the shower glass. We have scrubbed the glass numerous times with different methods trying to get rid of the last of the spots to no avail. While we have gotten the glass almost back to new, we still haven’t been able to remove all of them.

                          At this point, I think that the glass is permanently etched. I’m going to try a few more times and may call in a professional to see what they can do.

                            @goosehd Have you tried using a glass polishing compound? In a prior job installing windows, we would do a polish with a glass sanding pad and varying levels of grit to get spots out.

                                @goosehd vinegar will remove them I think

                                  We always keep a vinegar based spray around the house. Katie makes it with white vinegar and essential oils.

                                  Keeping a shower squeegee in there would help keep them from forming

                                    Yep we do both. Squeegee after every shower. Vinegar deep clean when spots become noticeable

                                      We’ve tried vinegar, CLR, and an assortment of other fixes over the years. Sadly, none of the have worked.

                                          We use the squeegee method post shower and for cleaning use Lime-a-way. Works pretty ok. We have insanely hard water. We need to install a house wide softener system. Also, the tap water in our city is so disgusting. Can’t be far behind Flint’s water quality.
