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.

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.

I have years of hard water/mineral buildup on my exterior windows, and after trying multiple glass cleaners with little success, I decided to give Bio-Clean a try with #0000 steel wool. The difference was dramatic. One of my windows went from looking permanently cloudy to about 80% clear after one session. This isn’t a miracle product—you still need some elbow grease, and heavy mineral deposits won’t disappear with a quick wipe—but it actually removes buildup that regular glass cleaners won’t touch. A little product goes a long way, and it was easy to work with. If you’re dealing with hard water stains, I’d absolutely recommend giving this a try before assuming your glass is permanently etched or replacing your windows. It saved one of my windows, and I’m now working through the rest of the house.

This product was recommended by our window installers as we have hard water where we live and we get spots on our windows that windex etc will not get off. This stuff works really well but you do need to scrub hard.

The smell is pleasant with a light citrus lime scent. I have tried EVERYTHING to remove the hard-water spots from our glass shower doors, and nothing really worked until this! The cleaner has a thick, paste like consistency, and you don’t have to scrub hard to remove the hard water build up. It seriously does the scrubbing for you! 🙌 Our shower doors look SO much better. If you’re struggling with hard water buildup, BUY THIS!

I think it will be a tool that I will be using to bring out brightness, but beware of the taps that have the colors red and blue to differentiate the hot from the cold. Erase the colors.

I am absolutely Blown Away by how well this product works. We have extremely hard water and just put a water filtration system in the house so I figured that I would have to spend hours scrubbing to clean the orange stains out of my tub and sinks. I was wrong. This product is so easy to use that I thought I would need to have a scrub brush to start scrubbing areas when all I really needed to do was wipe it with a damn cloth and the stains came right out. Absolutely amazing product and I will be buying this for as long as I can from now on. The bonus that you get from this is that it's non-toxic so you don't have to wear gloves and I don't have to worry about my kids or my dogs or toxic fumes. It didn't get rid of 100% of the stains but I feel like if I scrub more I probably could but I would say it's a huge Improvement.

This stuff is way better than I expected. People were raving about it, so I decided to give it a try. I thought it would be good, but was way better than good. It’s fantastic! The bottom half of my shower door was cloudy from hard water. It really didn’t take very much rubbing to get the water spots off; and it was pretty much a big sold cloud of them before I cleaned them. The door looks like it’s brand new! It did such a good job on the glass, that I decided to use it to get the soap scum off of the shower tiles and it worked great. I have to be careful of what I use in the shower because it has a marble floor. It’s nice to have a product that I can use on multiple surfaces. Here’s an after picture of my shower door. I wish I would have taken a before picture, but I forgot. It smells kind of like Pepto Bismol. But that wouldn’t stop me from buying it again. Note: Excuse the shadows and reflections in the glass and on the shower walls.
