Hello
Any of you experts out there got the solution for water marks left by
sprinkler systems at a commercial bulding.
Apparently they've tried chemicals etc but as yet no results.

Hi Colin,
I use a scraper blade to remove the limescale and then charge the client as part of the initial clean.
If they continue to use the sprinklr I would allow and extra % to cover any future sessions with the scraper blade.
Best wishes,

Trev,
I tried the scraper blade but with no joy. It's asthough It's etched into the glass!

If the damage is too severe then here really is little you can do about it.
Maybe try fine wire wool, I have heard people on the forum have used this method.

I normaly use my scraper but have used wire wool in the past but it must be 000 grade, like your blade keep it wet and use light pressure.

Hi Colin
Put pure vinager on your applicator and rub, it will remove lime scale spots if that it what they are.
Lime is alkiline vinager is a mild acid, and it is a very cheep way to sort the problem out.
Hope this helps.
Cheers Jeff.

Thanks guy's
I went to site yesterday and found the windows to be
quite smooth to the touch, but apperance wise they
looked cloudy or misty. really strange, will give the vinegar
a try though and post another thread.
