Metal finishing Q&As since 1989

Lime Away left milky film on glass shower doors

A-maz Glass Cleaner / Water Stain Remover

on eBay or

Amazon

(affil links)

We remodeled our bathroom a year ago, adding glass shower doors. I used a daily (Tylex) spray to prevent build-up and it worked beautifully, until the housecleaners I hired before a party cleaned the doors with Lime-A-Way [affil links]. Now they have a milky film on them that nothing will remove. I've tried vinegar [in bulk on eBay or Amazon], other glass cleaners, glass stove top cleaner, alcohol. Any suggestions for a cleaner or professional treatment that would restore these glass doors.

Hi Susan,
Cerium oxide powders work very well for polishing glass. If you do a web search you will find many suppliers.
