Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit — the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass. It turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP

They are amazing!!!" —J.P.

Promising review: "This may be the best thing I have ever bought off of Amazon. And I buy quite a bit. This was something I needed and didn't even know it! Long story short, the tub in my kids' bathroom was atrocious, due to spotty cleaning and hard water. I bought this with a heavy dose of skepticism, even though the reviews were mighty impressive. On the back of the bottle, it says that you may need several daily applications before your tub is clean, and then you can switch to weekly application. I'm on day three, and let me say, even if this stuff worked no further, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The shower looks close to new. A couple more days, and I'll be able to switch to weekly! I won't post pictures because I'm embarrassed by how bad it looked before. But seriously, I am SO happy to have discovered this product, and I plan to keep on using it." —Tee

Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "We recently had our shower replaced, and I now have glass shower doors. Not wanting to get hard water-stained glass, I read up on the best ways to keep them clean. A common suggestion is to use a squeegee after showering to prevent spotting, so I bought this model. From what I can tell, it’s very well made and made of quality materials. The rubber is smooth and substantial, unlike what you generally find in dollar stores. Once I got the hang of it, wiping down the glass doors was quick and easy, and it did a great job of whisking away the water drops. And it does help in keeping the glass from getting hard water spots. The little holder that comes with it can be stuck to the shower wall or the glass door, whichever is most convenient for you, so the squeegee is always there when you need it." —Sue I

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "I previously purchased the all-purpose cleaner and decided to try the window cleaner. The nozzle dispenses just the right amount of cleaner. My living room windows were a nightmare from grandkids' sticky handprints in addition to dog nose prints. The windows turned out amazing. No streaks and got the stubborn, stuck-on who knows what it was, right off! This is definitely my new go-to window cleaner. I highly recommend Pink Stuff window cleaner." –Ohiocyndi

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available as a three-pack).

Promising review: "In my experience, Invisible Glass is the superior glass cleaner for home use (windows/mirrors) as well as auto cleaning and detailing. I've tried everything from classic Windex to specialty auto glass cleaners from brands such as Griot's Garage, and I always come back to Invisible Glass. It's an easy on, low odor, no foaming application cleans surface dirt, and leaves a streak-free finish. I highly recommend using a microfiber cleaning cloth (not included) for the best results. As for the new trigger dispenser design, this is an added welcome, allowing for even more precise application." —5HT

While browsing for yet another glass cleaner, I came across this product and looked at the video on how to clean your car windows. I bought everything suggested and followed the instructions. OMG!

Promising review: "It’s working beyond my expectations! It cleans windows, especially large windows, really well, and it cleans the tiles in the bathroom too! We have several large windows and they’re a headache to clean, we usually hire some window cleaning company to do it but it costs!!! It’s compact in size and I really like the carrying case to keep everything in there. Highly recommend!" —Amber.H
