Why coastal glass becomes cloudy
Salt spray combines with dust, moisture, irrigation minerals, and other contaminants. Strong sunlight then repeatedly dries that mixture onto the surface.
Prevention is easier than restoration
Routine rinsing and professional cleaning reduce how long deposits remain on the glass. Ocean-facing properties generally need more frequent service than protected inland homes.
If the glass already has white spotting or a hazy appearance that remains after normal cleaning, request an inspection before assuming it can be fully restored.
