Glass Rescue: Pumice vs Hard Water

Those cloudy, white mineral deposits on your glass surfaces don’t stand a chance against a simple, eco-friendly solution: a pumice stone. At Crystle Clear Cleaners, we love effective, chemical-free cleaning hacks—and this one delivers!

Why Pumice Works

Formed from volcanic rock, pumice stones have a gently abrasive texture that lifts hard water stains (goodbye, calcium and magnesium!) without scratching glass—when used correctly. It’s budget-friendly, sustainable, and just plain smart.

What You’ll Need

✔ Smooth pumice stone (no loose grit!)
✔ Spray bottle with water
✔ Clean microfiber cloths
✔ Optional: White vinegar for tough stains

Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣ Prep & Wet
Dampen the pumice stone and the glass thoroughly. Keeping both wet prevents scratches.

2️⃣ Scrub Gently
Using light pressure, work in small circles over stains. No elbow grease needed—let the pumice do the work!

3️⃣ Rinse & Check
Frequently rinse the area to monitor progress. Spot a scratch? Ease up or switch methods.

4️⃣ Vinegar Boost (Optional)
For stubborn spots, spray with vinegar first. Its acidity softens minerals for easier removal.

5️⃣ Dry & Shine
Rinse completely, then polish dry with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish.

Pro Tips

 Test First – Try the stone on a hidden spot to ensure glass safety.
 Stay Wet – Never scrub dry! Water is your scratch-proof ally.
 Skip Delicate Glass – Best for shower doors/windows, not heirlooms or thin glassware.
