How to Remove Water Stains from Glass Shower Doors

When I first had my glass shower doors installed, I immediately purchased a product to protect them from hard water, minerals, and staining. I realize many people use Rain-X and that's fine, but I wanted so

mething that was more long-term. I purchased a product called Endurosheild. It said it would last up to 3 years. Well, it didn't. I contacted the company to see if they could tell me what to do, and at first, all they

did was rave about how their product is so great, it has amazing reviews and awards.

Awesome, but that didn't help. I asked them to help me reverse what their product did not prevent. They suggested I use CLR. I did so. CLR did not work too. I am sure CLR works for other uses, but it did not come close to removing these water stains. When the manufacturer of SUDS told me this product could work, I was very intrigued. They also told me that they are selling tons of this product in Arizona where they are known to have hard water issues. Ok then.

What is causing those ugly spots on my glass shower doors?

Hard water usually causes this. In my case, we don't have hard water which is defined as water with high mineral content. High or low...without consistent cleaning, those minerals build up.

Methods that did not clean the water spots from my glass showers...

Lemon
Vinegar
Baking soda
Combo of the above
Razor blade
Tilex, Scrubbing Bubbles, etc.
CLR
HMK R156

How to Clean Glass Shower Doors

Like I said in my YouTube video about this...you will need to do some work. It requires a bit of elbow grease, but most cleaning does. Hopefully, though, it will teach you, as it did to me, that daily prevention is worth it: Squeegee that glass! You don't have to do it all in one day. I did sections at a time for over a week until it all was gone. Sometimes you may have to do a section more than once. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Gather supplies. I purchased my 0000 Steel Wool at a hardware store, and make sure to purchase your SUDS from us! (There are so many more uses for SUDS, explained HERE)
Put a glob of SUDS on your steel wool and start scrubbing. I used circular motions.
Rinse
If you did not get the desired look, dry the glass and repeat.
