I have tried everything
Ng to get the water spots off our shower screen but nothing works. Someone told me it is because cheap glass was used when it was installed before we moved in 2004. Can you please help. Gerri Winyon

When you say that you have tried everything I presume that means you have tried the various bathroom cleaning products – Ajax Spray n Wipe and so on. These will do a good job of removing the alkaline salts of the soaps that soap scum is composed of.
But sometimes when you do that, there’s still stuff left behind, so called “water marks.” These are insoluble mineral salts – probably Calcium Sulphate. The problem with this is that CaSO4 is highly insoluble and there’s no chemical that you can spray on it that will dissolve it.
There is, however, an option – razor blades. Get some of those single sided blades that can hold on the top without hurting your finger, and just scrape it off. I’m told it works well, and it won’t damage the glass
