    Stains on glass windows and doors
    My pool sweep frequently sprays water onto my windows and sliding glass doors. Now, the windows and doors are stained from the chemicals in the pool. Does anyone have a cleaning solution or method that I might use to remove those stains? Thanks.

    I would try "Spray 9" cleaner. If the chemicals actually etched the glass, check with a real glass supplier and tell them the problem. They do have glass abrasives/polishers they may seel to you that would reduce the hazed etched areas. If a razor blade won't take any residue off then its more than likely etched.

    Always test cleaners in a small spot first

    Water spots can be tough to remove. Try an once of white vinegar in a bucket of warm sudsy water. Do not try anything abrasive like kitchen cleanser.
