Required Supplies

  • White Vinegar
  • Blue Dawn Dish Soap
  • Spray Bottle

The Logic Verdict

Vinegar is the answer. The calcium deposits are alkaline; vinegar is acidic.

The Fix

  1. Hot Vinegar: Heat a cup of white vinegar in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. Spray: Pour into a spray bottle and mix with equal parts Blue Dawn Dish Soap.
  3. Soak: Spray the doors thoroughly and let sit for 15-30 minutes. The soap keeps the vinegar on the glass.
  4. Scrub: Scrub with a non-scratch sponge.
  5. Rinse: Rinse with cold water.
