Do any of you guys know what causes the oxidation or whatever is going on with glass that has metal screens on them? I’ve come across a lot of houses, especially older windows with the metal screens and the glass is near impossible to get clean. Steel wool will bring it back to a shine but only with lots of elbow grease! Any suggestions to get the windows clean on these? Thanks!
You answered your own question. It’s oxidization from the screens, and dirt, that is on the glass. Also, the rain is blocked by the screen, so the problem is compounded. The window never gets a rain rinse, and the screen crap gets on the glass. Soapy water and ultra fine steel wool should work.

On your estimates you need to have with an Asterisks
- A regular cleaning will not remove hard water stains from sprinklers and/Or Oxidation from metal screens.
There’s a price for that !!!
^. This doesn’t go in there …just saying !

Not always … depends on how long it’s been on there. It gets etched into the glass
Then it needs something else to get it off. Not just soap an wool.
Use oven cleaner, NOT the unscented wussy one… use the yellow can.
Use a separate scrub pad and wear a glove… once it gets on your skin it burns pretty quick.
