We have an old gas lantern in front of our house. Installed in 1964, the glass had become permanently etched during the last 44 years probably from the heating elements, elements from the outdoors (weather, heat, water, rain) and even rust from the surrounding structure itself. For the last three years we have applied product after product to the glass to try to get it clean. Instead it remained stained, clouded and hazy. We tried many quality named and trusted products made specifically for glass but nothing has been effective at removing the stains. To this end we somewhat gave up and surrendered ourselves to the fact that we would need to have new glass cut for each four sections of the lamp.

Luckily for us we are extreme procrastinators. While attending the fall ISSA show we ran across a company touting a non-acid, non-bleach, non-chloride, non-toxic, biodegradable Water Stain Remover. Water Stain Remover you say? We looked into this product with extreme interest and watched a personal demonstration on the foulest Glass Shower Sliding Door we had ever seen. I mean they asked us to touch the door and we didn’t even want to do that. (We did, but washed our hands afterwards.) Anyways, the manufacturer took the A-MAZ™ Water Stain Remover and their scrub pad made from 100% recycled fibers and started applying to the surface of the shower door. After a few minutes the product dried white and with a clean cotton cloth the area was wiped clean. Now let me tell you, clean is an understatement. You needed to see this door. It was truly A-MAZing.

Right then and there a light bulb went off in my head. How might this work on the gas lamp glass panels? I didn’t ask for fear that we might be told this is not an intended use of the product. So we simply asked to have a sample forwarded to our company. Our thought was that if it could make any dent in cleaning this glass it would truly be an amazing product worth offering to you.

If you have etched, streaky, water stained, hazy, or clouded glass this product is well worth a try. We suggest you try this product even if you’ve already tried everything else and found nothing that worked.
