Chambermaids use scrubbin bubbles foam spray cleaner and an old credit card.Just spray the glass door and let sit for about 10 minutes or so and then swipe the credit card back and forth over the soap scum and it should come out good as new.That's how the big motels keep there doors looking so good.Good Luck!

Go to the Toilet Cleaners, select one that clears limescale from toilets, and get some rubber gloves.Squirt a little on the door, work across the door at the top, let it go down the door kinda like a curtain.then, wearing the rubber gloves, help the liquid to spread evenly. At this point, my coffee has 2 sugars....yours? Rinse off with the shower...wipe over to remove any stubborn marks, then spray one of those daily shower cleaning liqids on (same area in store as the toilet cleaner), go get your goodie badge.

what I have found to work best is spray some bleach on it then cover it in comet, and then spray it with bleach again to soak all the comet. Let it sit for about 30 min and scrub with a brillo pad and rince. You may need to repeat depending on the amount of buildup.
