Method + surface playbook
Authority graph: secondary / compatible method + surface playbook.
secondary relationship between hard water deposit removal and glass.
Soil type, dwell, agitation, and rinse are aligned to the finish.
Hard water deposit removal is linked to glass in the graph because the method can fit that surface under the right conditions. The key is controlling risk while matching the contamination type.
The main risk is using a valid method without adjusting for finish sensitivity, moisture tolerance, or residue control requirements.
No. A structured playbook starts with the least aggressive effective option and escalates only when the surface and contamination pattern justify it.
Glass cleaning: defined technique, compatible surfaces, and clear stop points.
