"My name is Jason. I'm with Hi-tech Window Cleaning, and I'm going to continue on, from the last step, of hard water removal. We've applied the acid to the window, starting at the bottom. The next step you need to do, is remove the acid from the window, which she's going to do right now. I'll get to the actual technique in a later segment. Once you remove the acid from the window, it will leave a slight film on the glass. That's normal. What you need to do after that, is just use our water and soap solution, just the dish soap. Then, you need to re-clean the window, and this gets rid of the slight film that was left over, from the initial application of the acid. If this doesn't work on the first attempt, you can try it a few more times. Scrub a little bit harder on the window. Let it sit there, but don't let it dry on the window, because it will etch the window. This is true on home windows, and business windows, the same, so you want to take it off as quick as you can. If it doesn't remove the hard water, you can reapply it, and keep doing that. Just do not let it dry on the glass, because you will ruin your windows, and there you go. A clean window, and all the hard water is removed, and the only thing I can say, is try to keep your sprinklers off the windows, and you won't have to worry about this, in the future."
