STAIN REMOVAL CLEAN

The process of removing stains from glass caused by hard water mineral deposits, pre-cast run off, oxidation, and acts of man.

THE STORY OF WHEN SILICA MEETS SILICATEOnce upon a time there was a very attractive mineral called Silica

that lived in a glass house.

Along side of her living in a house of concrete was a handsome, gritty, mineral brute called Silicate.

Silicate spend much time watching Silica from a far and longed to be with her. So, one day, when it rained very hard he ran off of his concrete home and slid on to the smooth glass house where Silica was.

When Silica and Silicate saw one another they were instantly attracted to one another creating an inseparable bond.
