I've been buiding a garden pavilion with some recycled bus shelter glass. A couple of the panes have a white bloom that is on the surface, possibly as a result of water having been trapped between the sheets as they have been stored outdoors.
Is there a glass cleaning product that will remove this bloom?
Is it limescale? try the stuff for cleaning shower screens
I find washing powder to be a very effective cleaner of soiled glass, worth a try i suppose
Note: if you have any cuts on your hands you will know about it, stingy

Really? You must post up some pics so we can follow its progress.

I use it on my hob funnily enough with a blade scraper and it polishes up dandy.
If its bus shelter glass it might have some sort of laminated on/ fired on coating to make it less graffiti-able or self cleaning or some other technobunk.
If its some sort of film it might have absorbed trapped water - let it sit for a while and see if it clears, going at it with anything abrasive might make things worse rather than better.
I clean bus shelters for a living and staining is usually limescale .I use a windowcleaning scraper blade to remove this ,its like a razor ,dont use a stanley blade as they scratch the glass.I dont clean any shelters with coatings on .Such stuff exists but would be to expensive once the local ****less neds have smashed a few panes

Do you have a pic of one of these.
doubt it will be limescale in Fife, unless the glass was imported from doon sooth.

Handfull of scrunched up newspaper works well and recyle it after use.
