How to get water marks off shower screen

[Lucyintheskywithrubies]

Moved into new rental. Shower glass caked with hard water stains. Tried bar keeper’s friend and a scrub daddy many times to no avail.

help?

Viakal?

Equal parts washing up liquid and white vinegar.

Magic sponge

Viakol is good

Viakal, leave it on 20 minutes and then give it a bit of a scrub to loosen with a (non scratch) sponge, then rinse

once it’s clean use a squeegee after every shower

Invisible Glass. Expensive but amazing!

White.M vinegar will remove most of lime scale , neat onto a cloth and rub

It's what I use on windows too, to polish up sink taps etc and my bathroom screens and .. and... lasts forever too

You can buy white vinegar cheapest in bulk (2x5L (10L) for £10 ) from Amazon

Sorry white vinegar no M

Limescale remover, the solution you'd pour in a kettle and whatnot. It's strong so try not to breathe it in, but it gets very stubborn stains off. Then Viakal for keeping on top of it.

The water here is very hard.

Astonish or the pink stuff.

I struggle to find astonish so have moved to pink stuff but it works!

White vinegar works like a dream

I have tried every single one of these suggestions and can also add dishwasher rinse, buying a Karcher, a tub of pink stuff and nothing has worked!

@KateBushyTail thats my concern but I will give them all a go!

Lemon juice?

If none of the above works try HG Limescale remover. It's nasty stuff, wear gloves and open windows, but it works.

Do all these suggestions work ok on plastic screens as well as glass?

Had to scrape it off with a razor blade in a central London rental.

Scrub it a few times with dishwashing liquid.

Water staining can etch the glass if it's bad enough so you may not be able to fully clean it either.

Hg professional limescale remover. It's so good!

If it's a perspex or glass screen, then Viakal is your friend, or Mr Muscle - check the instructions but you should be able to leave it on for an hour or two, scrub off and repeat if needed.

Dont leave Viakal or Mr Muscle on any taps or metalwork for more than a couple of minutes at a time, as it could corrode the metal,

I'm another vote for white vinegar neat on a sponge. Leave for 10 mins then use the rough side of a washing up sponge to get the rest of the residue off.

Neat lemon juice works as well but takes a bit longer - a lot better smelling though.

The old way always used to be vinegar and newspaper - but that was the newspaper where the print rubs off on your hands, I don't think that's used any more.

I second the PP who squeegees every time after you get it clean. I also do that on the tiles. Every bathroom in my Thames valley house has a squeegee.

HG Limescale remover is the only thing that I have found that removes long-standing water marks.

Also use a metal scourer you would use in the kitchen. They clean limescale off brilliantly. I use them each day in a hotel, and we're in a hard water area.
