Does condensation cause hard water spots?

3 years ago

I have an unusual question that I hope someone will know the answer to.


I have an oversized shower that's not vented and has glass on three sides. So after I turn the hot water on it only takes a few seconds for condensation to start building up on the glass, and there is a lot of glass. At the end of the shower I go through the hassle of squeegeeing all that glass even though the shower water doesn't come in contact with most of it.


Do I really need to squeegee all the condensation off of the glass or can I just do the parts with shower water on them? I know that minerals in the water cause water spots so it seems logical that condensation won't have minerals and so it won't cause water spots. But I can also conceive of a scenario where the condensation could cause water spots.


Does anyone here know the answer to this? If you think you know but actually don't know for sure, then please say that. Don't just make the same assumption I did and claim it to be a fact.
