How to Clean Glass Shower Doors (Quick and Easy!)

Glass shower doors look so pretty in pictures, don't they? They sit there in all their sparkly goodness and make a room look so swanky...until they become coated in layers of spotted water drops! We recently moved into a rental home, and I suddenly had the dilemma of trying to get the doors to sparkle again. I researched with more fervor than a 6th grader the night before a science fair,and experimented with the ideas I found online.
It was sort of like the story of Godlilocks and the Three Bears. The first thing I tried ~ glass stove top cleaner ~ was just too stinky. Next I tried a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. It was just too messy to get off (and didn't clean too well, either!) But the third thing was JUST RIGHT! ~ a mixture of warm white vinegar and blue dawn dish detergent.
Here was the sad shower door situation before
I mixed up the winning formula (1 cup warm white vinegar with 1 cup blue dawn dish detergent) and put it in a spray bottle. I sprayed the doors, let it sit for 30 minutes and then washed it off with a window washing squeegee. It worked great!
The after! (picture taken through glass!)

Have a question about this project?
If blue dawn not available can I use any dish washer liquid
What exactly do you mean by warm white vinegar? How warm does it need to be?How do you warm it? In the microwave? By sitting it outside?
