Stains can rarely be identified by sight, thus bidding a restoration job often requires testing an area to know the work involved. Hard water stains are not uniform and can be made up of one or more minerals. The most common hard water stains are caused my Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) ions., the 5th and 8th most abundant metals by mass in the earth’s crust. Common causes of these types of stains are as follows: • Calcium sulphate (gypsum, plaster) • Calcium carbonate (rock, marble, cement, pool water, ceramics) • Calcium chloride (salt) • Magnesium carbonate (antacid, chalk) • Magnesium sulphate (Epsom salt) • Magnesium hydroxide (clay, cement with seawater) • Calcium stearate (soap scum) Iron, Copper and other elements are also found in some areas of the country. Not seen as often, but Silicate deposits are out there. Silicate from rock, (Quartz, Sand) is precipitated on the glass when the silicates are combined with salts (like sea water) Sodium Silicate is often found in cements, lumber and textiles and can be leached off onto the glass surface. Sodium silicate is a white powder that is readily soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution Stains can vary in different parts of a city and therefore knowing what stains are common in your market will help you with the testing. The hard water stain that is left behind on the glass is insoluble in water. Removing hard water stains depends greatly on the amount of build-up and the length of time. Dissolving or Abrading Stains Hard water stains need to be either A) dissolved or B) abraded from the glass: 1. The elements that make up the stain will dictate what can be used to dissolve it 2. It is not possible to visually inspect and know what the stain is 3. The stains are softer than the glass and can be abraded from the harder underlying surface 4. Each region, (often different parts of the same city) can leave different hard water stains on the surface 5. Develop a kit of methods and products that work for you Stains are dissolved with acids and abraded with white pads, steel or bronze wool and abrasive grits such as cerioum oxide. 12 Powered polishers with round pads will speed up the hard water stain removal process and make a job more profitable. Stubborn deposits will require multiple applications or abrading or dissolving as they come off in layers. Be careful using products with abrasives or agressive (green) scrub pads especially with polishers as they can scratch the glass. Always test a small discreet area before proceeding to restore. Performing the Restoration Regardless of your chosen method, work in small manageable areas no larger that 4ft x 4ft at a time, re-clean the class and inspect your work in between. Be careful not to set you tools or pads down on surrounding surfaces (of any kind) as they may pick up some foreign debris that could scratch the glass. 1) Creams, Pastes - Hand Applied The two pastes shown here offer mild (3-Star) and medium (NanoUltra) removal potential. These pastes will remove the deposits without damaging the glass. They are applied by hand with polishing pads (from white pads to steel wool) The 3-Star and NanoUlra are the easiest and safest to use and should be considered first. The two acids in the NanoUlra stain reover are added to soften and dissolve the hard water stain allowing the product to work faster. The hand applied restoration method is also the most labor intensive and therefore suited for small areas. Note: When dealing with heavy build-up consider using a scraper to aid in the removal of the stain. Scrape while the material is paste/cream is still on the glass. Hardwater Stain Removal 2) Creams, Paste - Power Polisher Applied Powered polishers are for larger, more challenging jobs and can greatly reduce the time spent to perform the restoration (see warning note below). Choose a rotary polisher that can operate at 600 RPM, keep the speed low and be careful not to heat the glass. Oscillating hand sanders allow easier access into corners Note: The products on this page have been used with success with powered polishers by professional operaters, if you use other products read the product labels as some will state they are not to be used with a powered polisher. All glass is not safe to restore... Test a small area and with all products and be careful not to cause swirled micro scratches in the glass. Clean the test area with a squeegee; make sure you’re looking at dry, clean glass. 3) Acids For those window cleaners and their customers comfortable with working with acids; then acids are often the fastest way to remove hard water stains. Consider the work site and the customer, and where they allow acids to be used. OneRestore is an acid and will remove the toughest deposits with the least effort. Apply OneRestore from a chemical resistant spray bottle or squeeze bottle and agitate with polishing pads (from white pads to steel wool). Let the product dwell on the surface for 3 to 5 minutes, but do not let it dry. after the dwell time spray the surface again to insure it is wet and scrub with the polishing pad again and continue scrub off the stains. Rinse with water when finished and re-clean the glass to review progress. Typically acids should not be allowed to dry on the glass. Protective gloves and eyewear must be worn (page 57). Note: Polisher Warning - Some pastes, powders and creams are not recommended for use with a powered polisher; when using product s not listed here be sure to review the product notes on the packaging, website and the product description.

A sprayer bottle with a detergent mix sprayed on the screens first will help clean very dirty screens faster. Track Cleaning In many areas, Track Cleaning is an important part of clean screens. Use a small stiff brush to get into the tracks and sweep away the accumulated debris. In some areas with large dust accumulation, a small backpack vacuum will make track cleaning faster and easier. Screen Magic Works on all types of screens. No need to brush, scrub or rinse. Just remove the screen, spray it with Screen Magic, wipe off the frame and replace it. The special formula of emulsions, UV inhibitors, glossing agents, and dust repellents don’t just cover the dust, it destroys it. The dust particles are organically dissolved making the screens look like new and the dust repellents help to keep them looking that way. • Contains no solvents phosphorus or petroleum distillates that can cause ozone-depletion. • Non-toxic, non-flammable, inert and non-reactive. • Exempt from federal VOC regulations including California CARB and OTC regulations. 24 oz. 89-640 24.6 oz.

Water rinses the glass. Because the water drys naturally on its own, it needs to be very pure. 1. Pure Water is Produced 2. The Cleaning is Done Water from the tap is processed by the Ionic pure water system to remove dissolved impurities such as calcium carbonate and salts. A soft-bristled brush is used to scrub the dirt from the window, while at the same time the system pushes the pure-water to the brush head. The pure water is jetted onto the glass to rinse away the dirt. The pure water travels up a thin tube to the brush, where it runs out onto the glass. The brush and water jets are mounted onto long-reaching telescopic water-fed poles so that cleaning can be done at heights of up to 80 ft. from the safety of the ground. See page 22 for Ionic water makers.

Solar panel manufacturers recommend regular cleaning for long-term performance and increased energy generation. 25-1360 If you can use a hose nozzle to wet and rinse then you can use the Solar Brush without rinse nozzles. Oner person rinces ahead and behnd an operator with this brush who is agitating the dirt off. Brush with Pole Adapter only 25-1362 Smaller panels can be cleaned with the typical washer/mop and squeegee technique. There are several soap solutions available, see right. Many window cleaners are now using their water-fed poles to clean solar panels; especially large areas where the worker cannot walk between the panels. The pure water is a great cleaning agent and will suffice if the panels are cleaned regularly. With Solar Panel cleaning bidding out for about half the cost of window glass it is important to gain efficiency in cleaning The 36” boars hair brush on this page offer as much as a three fold improvement in productvity over 12” nylon brushes or traditional mop and squeegee methods.

SL-B00 SL-G00 SL-B20 SL-G20 Eagle EyeTM is an optical bird scarer that harmlessly deters birds from unwanted areas by making use of light beams reflected from direct sunlight or artificial light. The reflective pyramid rotates via an electric motor, sending the beams around in a menacing pattern. The light spectrum reflected back by the Eagle Eye disorients birds in flight by limiting their vision significantly. This causes the bird to deviate in flight and fly to another destination.
