Both are great ideas.. Actually I use a slat water solution to remove salt
stains from carpetting in cars/trucks.. I imagine it would work well here
to.. You might be able to use a little hydrocloric acid as well, pool
supply place, or maybe nail polish remover... Everything would need to be
rinsed well, and maybe even a baking soda/water bath to neutralize the acid.
In the case of Hydrocloric acid/nail polish remover, a very well ventilated
area would be best...

Stronger acid. Muriatic will do the job. Be sure to do it outside and then
rinse, rinse, rinse some more.

Muratic acid may etch the glass, I have used lime away and CLR to do this.
