Does it take water spots off windows?

I haven't tried it for that but I would doubt it. Its chemistry is such that it dissolves grease, fats, oils, and sebum. Although it doesn't react with the minerals in water the way way that soaps do, I still don't think it's the best thing for removing "water spots" ((which actually are small amounts of minerals left behind when the water evaporates from a droplet)). If you have a lot of mineral build-up, you need something designed to remove minerals, such as Lime-Away of CLR. But for light spotting, use: a bit of ammonia diluted in water (especially distilled water, which you can buy from the grocery), vinegar, or commercial cleaners made specifically to clean glass.

I have not tried that. I use Orvus only for washing delicate clothing, quilts and needlework.

It is a cleaner. Will it remove hard water spots? Tough question. I have had it remove water spots from an outdoor glass table. But I have had some old, old water spots on glass that I had to use a very fine auto rubbing compound to remove. Once remover this product has kept it clean. I'd say try it. It's the best cleaner I have ever used.

I would wipe it off pretty soon with a dry cloth. I have not noticed water spots or streaks. This is a very good product.

That is exactly what we are using it for. Yes, with very little effort, it does come off. I also left a some extra along the side to make it even easier to take down. Also, make sure you use either the Gila Solution or a baby shampoo/water mixture when you put it on the window. Good luck.

It has for me but with a good bit of scrubbing. I use a microfiber cloth though so that may be part of it. It does a real good job on clean glass.

Yes, it probably would on the windows, what I found works best is spraying the windows with glass cleaner and just using the squeegee. After a pass take a paper towel to run across the squeegee to remove excess. I use the cloth side for scrubbing other things like inside shower doors.

No, and it should NOT be used on windows at all as the product is alkaline and can etch windows. Use it for all your other surfaces instead.

I just used a Lemon cut in 1/2 (take pits out) for the chrome in my shower, and for the water spots on the window in my shower.It worked great...Although I have Not tried it on my car window, as it's not needed there.

Oh definitely yes! You install it with water, and it sticks to the window with static, so yes, it is very easy to remove when you want it gone.

My purpose for buying this product was to clean the window (and it does also put a bit of a "sheen" on the glass) without the streaking problem I'd been having on the inside of my windshield. It works where others did not. I have not used Rain-X recently enough to compare in that way of using.

Yes. While there are better and less harsh alternatives, this compound will remove the clear coat and paint if you work diligently enough at it. For windows, I'd suggest a solution of 3 parts white vinegar to 1 part water, as someone else also suggested.

I am not sure whether this product will remove hard water spots from the glass shower doors but be aware that it may discolor the aluminum which is commonly used in the frames of your shower doors. +1 to the suggestion about adding a small amount to your dishwashing detergent... add to laundry detergent as well.

yes as long as you get all the hard water off, you will know if you dont. you will get spots there.

I have actually never tried it on Windows or Mirrors or Wood...but use it on almost everything else. I have even been using it this summer in a spray bottle 1part to 4 parts water, to kill insects like flys, mosquitos, ants and spiders.

Yes, does an excellent job on glass and chrome, just make sure you wipe it off completely. Water beads up on the glass and leaves a nice finish.

I remove it every time I go through the car wash to allow the inside windows to be washed. Whenever you reattach it put a couple drops of water on the suction cup. Hope this helps!

I used it on large traffic area on my carpeted entryway. I lightly spray the area, then with a warm damp bath towel I wipe the area then flip the towel and go over again. Works good. It's also handy as a clothes stain remover like a "Tide Stick". Last week I got chocolate syrup on a white Polo shirt. Gave a quick shot on it, waited 30 seconds, then blotted with a warm damp washcloth. Not even a hint of the stain remained. Literally 3 times more effective than Spot-Shot.
