If there is one exterior cleaning problem Meridian has more of than anywhere else in the valley, it is hard water etching from pressurized irrigation. Whole subdivisions run on the same system, aimed the same way, installed the same year, and by August the same elevation on every house shows the same white haze.
Pressurized irrigation delivers untreated, mineral-heavy water, and in a development the systems were installed together to a common plan. When the design puts heads close to the foundation, every house on the street takes overspray on the same windows. This is why neighbors compare notes and find identical damage, and why it is a systemic problem rather than bad luck.
There is a real line between deposit sitting on glass and mineral that has etched into it. Deposit from this season comes off. Deposit that has cycled through three summers has begun to pit the surface, and at that point the honest answer is significant improvement rather than restoration. Getting to it in the first or second year is the whole difference.
Cleaning etched windows without fixing the sprinkler is paying to reset a clock that starts again the same night. The durable order is: watch every zone run, re-aim or swap anything hitting the house, then clean. Any company that cleans the glass and does not mention the sprinkler is not looking after the outcome.
For a house that takes overspray it cannot fully eliminate, frequency beats severity. Monthly membership includes hard water stain removal for that reason, and it is aimed at exactly this situation rather than being a general upsell.

Pressurized irrigation is untreated and mineral-heavy, and subdivision systems were installed to a shared plan, so the same elevation takes overspray across a whole street.
Early deposit, yes. Once minerals have etched into the glass over multiple seasons, the result is real improvement rather than new glass, and anyone promising otherwise is overselling.
Only as a short-term fix. Re-aim the head first, or the damage restarts immediately.
If it does not come off with a normal clean and looks like a cloudy haze rather than spots, it has begun to etch. We will tell you which it is before quoting.
It is included on the Monthly membership. Otherwise it is quoted by severity.
