Hard water stains on glass shower doors? Here's Who to Call

White, cloudy, or spotty mineral deposits on glass shower doors are caused by calcium and magnesium in hard water. Once baked on by repeated wetting and drying, they resist regular bathroom cleaners. A professional cleaner uses acidic solutions (phosphoric or hydrochloric acid-based), polishing compounds, and razor techniques to restore clarity, then applies hydrophobic coating to prevent recurrence.
