How To Remove Hard Water Spots From Your Auto Glass
Vinegar To Remove Hard Water Spots
Toothpaste Removes Hard Water Spots
Lemon Removes Hard Water Spots
You can also try using lemon juice because it has the same acidic properties. If you do try this method, it’s better to use fresh lemon juice as opposed to bottled. Squeeze out the lemon juice and add it to a spray bottle and apply it to your windshield with a towel. Or you can just rub the lemon itself on the glass.
Vinegar can eat those hard water spots right up because it’s so acidic. The deposits that are left on your auto glass from water and other chemicals are alkali, so you’re going to need an acid to remove it. Fill a spray bottle with white distilled vinegar. You may need a higher concentration of vinegar, so adjust your water-to-vinegar ratio based on how severe the hard water spots are on your auto glass.
Citrus Essential Oils Remove Hard Water Spots
As essential oils are gaining popularity, some lemon or orange essential oils may be easier to find and can help remove hard water spots on your auto glass. They can also prevent future hard water deposit buildups on your windshield and windows. Mix a few drops of the essential oils with water, then apply the solution to your windshield using a sponge or soft towel. Allow it to soak and then remove it with a traditional glass cleaner. A few ways to prevent hard water spots from building up on your windshield:
You can also use a solution of water and toothpaste. Definitely don’t skimp on the water. It will make the mixture easier to spread and helps you save your toothpaste. Apply the paste to your auto glass, allow it to sit, and then clean off with water. After this method, you should also clean your auto glass with a traditional glass cleaner and dry it thoroughly. You can also find products made specifically to remove hard water spots and buildup. Nothing beats a natural, DIY fix like those mentioned above, but you can also find cleaners made specifically for cleaning hard water spots off your auto glass, if you prefer.

Editor’s note: As with any product, spray or apply the product to a sponge or towel first to avoid overspray onto painted or other surfaces. You should also test the product on a small, less noticeable, spot before applying to the whole windshield.

Have you ever noticed some hard water stains on your vehicle’s auto glass? You’re probably wondering either A) Where did those come from? or B) How do I get rid of them? Or maybe even both. These hard water spots are often caused by minerals like magnesium and calcium in your water, as well as chemicals that leave lime scale and other mineral deposits. Those water spots are basically a mixture of water, soap, acid rain, and other mineral deposits like sodium that are left over. And because these hard water spots are composed of leftover minerals that didn’t come off with the water, you can probably guess that they’re hard to clean off your auto glass. But don’t worry, here are a few tried and true tips to help rid you of those hard water spots.

AAA Reminds Motorists To Be Alert During “School’s Open-Drive Carefully” Campaign
As more than one million area students return to school, AAA Northeast reminds motorists to slow down and watch out for school-age pedestrians. “When children return to school in September, traffic volume increases,” said Donna Galasso, assistant director of AAA’s Traffic Safety unit. “Motorists are urged to exercise caution and patience while driving in school zones, near bus stops, playgrounds and on neighborhood streets. Children are easily distracted and tend to focus on the things that interest them at the moment and can be very impulsive,” Galasso said. One-fifth of traffic related deaths of children, 14 and younger are pedestrian fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. These pedestrian fatalities are more likely to happen in the afternoon hours, when school is letting out. AAA’s 72nd annual “School’s
Open-Drive Carefully” campaign encourages drivers to be alert in areas where children are present, paying extra attention during morning and afternoon hours when children are traveling to and from school. School-age children can be especially vulnerable in areas with heavy traffic volume, parked vehicles, higher posted speed limits and limited pedestrian-control devices. As part of the “School’s Open Drive Carefully” campaign, thousands of posters, bumper stickers and other educational materials are distributed. In addition, AAA Northeast is offering a tip sheet for parents to review with their children for choosing the safest route to school, along with important safety rules. Available in Spanish and English, at AAA.com/Safety, it advises parents to show their children which route to take and why.
Under 13? Backseat And Buckle Up Car crashes are a leading cause of deaths and injuries among New York State tweens (8- to 12-yearolds). Most tweens seriously injured or killed in crashes were not wearing seat belts. They are also more likely to get hurt in crashes when riding in the front seat. What can parents do to keep tweens safe in the car? • Require tweens to ride in the backseat and wear seat belts every time. No exceptions, even when riding in the car with other drivers or when the trip is short. Most crashes happen close to home. Wearing seat belts is not only for their safety—it’s the law. • Make sure seat belts fit properly: The lap belt should be snug and low across the upper thighs/hips. The shoulder belt should cross the chest and collarbone. Never let your tween put the shoulder belt behind the back or under the arm. Serious injuries can occur in a crash. Your child should be tall enough to sit up straight against the vehicle seat back and have legs bend over the edge. Your child may need to use an approved booster seat if the seat belt does not fit properly. • Make sure your tween sits up

Seat belts will not work properly if your child is slouching. If your rear seat reclines, keep it upright. • Make it easy and a habit. To encourage buckling up in the backseat, let your tweens pick the radio station or play electronic games. Keep their belongings in the backseat with them. • Wait until everyone is buckled up before driving. • Tweens should only ride with adult drivers. Teen drivers are more likely to be involved in a crash, more likely to let tweens sit in the front seat, and less likely to insist on seat belts.
What You Say Matters.
Tween survey results indicate that parents have the most influence. If your tween resists, insist. National Child Passenger Safety Week is Sept. 17 through 23. Visit www.safeny.ny.gov/seat-per.htm for more information about properly fitted safety seats and additional seat check sites.
