Bioclean Hard Water Stain Remover, 20.3oz

Admittedly, I'm not a house cleaner. I don't enjoy it. I procrastinate. We also have very hard water. My husband ripped out our entire master bathroom and I picked out these pretty glass sliding doors, instead of the tacky frosted ones we had from the prior owners. I assumed you kept glass clean with Windex. Ha! Not with hard water! Hard water drops WILL NOT WIPE CLEAN! Googling got me to a semi-decent product by Lysol. Yes, it did remove most of the water spots whenever I cleaned. The issue is it started to evaporate while I was still scrubbing with my scratchy surfaced sponge and since the entire door and panel was being scrubbed, you couldn't see what you were accomplishing. It looked like you scrubbed all of the surface, but when you sprayed the area down, there were patches of hard water spots that needed additional scrubbing. It was very frustrating! Somehow I found this Bio-clean product on Amazon. Ouch on that price! I got the bigger bottle to at least get a better value. This product works! I still used the same scratchy surfaced kitchen sponge for cleaning. I think one of the reasons that it works is that it's a cream. You wipe it on and it mostly stays on (with a tad bit of evaporation) until you can rinse it off so it can continue breaking down those mineral deposits. The product rinsed cleanly away using the shower nozzle. Instead of going over the rinsed glass with a microfiber cloth, Windex, and my tears to find missed patches of mineral deposits, I only used a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the glass dry instead of an additional glass cleaner. I promptly got on Amazon to leave this review & order more for fear that it'll no longer be available. The price? That brings a few tears. But personally, I will save Bio-clean for tough jobs only, such as the shower glass doors. My boys' shower / tub will get the regular cleaner. I won't waste it on regular cleaning jobs due to the cost. If the cost were to come down, it's definitely a product I'd use more widely across my home.

OMGosh, this stuff is a game changer!!! It really works at removing hard water stains on windows. I used a walnut scrubber (looks like the green scrubbers but made from walnuts and tan in color, purchased on Amazon) and didn’t scratch the windows. I wish I had taken before pics so you could see the difference. For hard water deposits that had been on the windows a couple years or more (before we bought the house) I had to go over them twice. However, twice was all they needed! I used a squeegee, then microfiber cloths to dry the windows. I’ve tried other stuff that said it worked, but never did. I am in love with this stuff❤️. I can’t wait to use it on our glass shower wall 🤩. Well worth the money!!!! You don’t use a lot of it as well. I cleaned 4 decent sized windows and only used about 4 oz. It also worked beautifully on my mom’s car windows that had been hit by the sprinkler. You will not be disappointed! Yeah, I’m doing a happy dance 🕺 😁

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I'm always objective and honest about the product or service. I review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know! I should have done a before and after photo. Everything has failed in the past so I didn't even consider it. I've had a particularly difficult hard water stripe that has formed over the years where the sliding shower door overlaps the fixed glass pain. Hazy, streaked and typical hard water deposit ... but not super rough because I've attempted to clean it at least 5 times in the past with various purchased remedies as well as multiple homemade concoctions recommended and essentially polished it. They 'helped' but never eliminated it. I tried this Bioclean remover along with a single Scotch Brite Zero Scratch pad in combination. A small bucket of water to maintain a moist sponge and deliberate circular strokes with the scrubber side, with consistent pressure. I made multiple passes over the area and didn't let it dry. The proof is always after you get done and it all dries. Every time in the past, it looks great at first and then the haze comes back - not this time! I missed a couple of areas but retreated and the glass looks almost new again. Even the heaviest deposits at the base were gone. The photo shows the 'after' effects. There was a long 1" - 2" hard water stripe from the base to about 3/4 of the way up. The product smells like wintergreen and is somewhat creamy, a bit like soft-scrub. I'm not sure what the active chemicals are in it or if it's the soft abrasive nature from the combination o the cleaner and the sponge, but I don't care. After trying so many different combinations of homemade and purchased cleaners, this is the one! Highly, highly recommend this product.

Works great but as far as soap scum, it’s not any better than regular barkeepers friend cream cleanser. Unfortunately. I’m a professional cleaner and have tried everything. Once it’s etched in, nothing promised will work.

WOW! I could not believe the results I got with this product! Our guest room and bath was used all summer by my son while home from college this summer. For some reason, these so-called "higher education" students don't seem to know how to use nor understand the concept of using the squeegee in the shower. By end of summer I had doors full of hard water spots and even worse dried hard water spots on all the chrome fixtures. I tried Mr. Eraser, Vinegar, CLR.... the works. At wits end, I thought I would give this product a try after seeing the abundance of reviews. I did not get my hopes up but threw caution to the wind. Boy! Was I surprised! This stuff is a liquid paste. I used the scrubbing part of a microfiber cloth to rub it into the glass in circular motions a section at a time. You need a bit of elbow grease. It wasn't easy wipe on wipe off. But with a little work it removed all the water spots! And not just on the doors, but on the chrome fixtures as well. Those didn't take the same amount of rubbing as the doors did, so they were much easier. I couldn't believe how well this product worked, especially since I didn't have high hopes. This product was EASY to use out of the bottle. One bottle seems to last a lot - I got the 40oz bottle on sale - it was actually less in price than the 10oz! - I had a lot left after two shower doors and fixtures. The product seems pretty versatile so I'm looking forward to using it on other things, especially my car windows. So impressed with this, I've recommended it to a few friends and will be buying another bottle!

Its not any better than scrubbing bubbles spray foam. With that said this works but still leaves visible hard water dots on the glass after several passes and reapplications. This seems to leave a film on the glass that keeps water from really sticking going forward so this might be a product i grow to prefer over time since i "may" not have to clean the glass as much. Ill update when i notice new spots forming to give an idea on longevity.

I had hard water stains that had been sitting on my glass and fixtures for a long time. I tried the Magic Eraser, I tried several other products, and nothing touched them. I honestly bought this expecting it to be too gentle to work, since it's eco-friendly. I was wrong. It removed stains I thought were permanent. On top of that, it smells good instead of harsh, it doesn't tear up your hands, and it doesn't seem to damage anything around it. I don't know how it does it without the usual burning chemical smell, but it does. I almost never leave reviews. This one works so well that I wanted other people to know about it. Highly recommended. If you tell me the product name and what surfaces you used it on (shower glass, faucets, tile), I can tighten it up with those specifics — reviews that name the surface tend to be more useful to other buyers. See my pictures. Nothing left behind. 0 residue 0 stains.

Having tried so many products plus all the "word of mouth" solutions, I've finally found the one product that really works. I am dealing with some very tough, excessive, old hard water stains so this product plus some "elbow grease" does the job. For all those who claim it didn't work too well - try again. Find the right cloth or sponge & just the right amount of water (or not) and put some effort into it. This product does work and very easily on light stains but requires more effort on the tough stains.
