There are these little white blocks out there that you can buy in any drugstore that people (I won't single out the women here) use to sand down callouses. They come in several grades of roughness, and if you use the fine ones, you can file the edges off of any window very cleanly. You just hold the block at the proper angle (about 45 degrees, in my opinion) and run it once or twice along the top of the window. They fit nicely in the palm of your hand, and you can support it along the window with the heel of your hand so you don't have to worry about the angle changing as you move along the window.

Just so you know it's called a pumice stone, same stuff they grind up to put in soaps ( gojo) and stuff to make it work better. thought you might need the name so you don't go into the store asking for a calice grinder away thingy.

I got a real heavy duty one at the hardware store. Looks like a big rectangular lava rock. My sink was a horror when I got this house. White porcelain... an old wall mount. I was scared to use it at first but wow did it ever get rid of some crap that had been there for 50 years. I never would have believed it. It just wears away as you use it sorta conforms itself to the sink.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
