Streaks on Glass Shower Door

I have used a lot of cleaning products on my glass shower walls and doors. After all the soap scum comes off, I still get streaks and a haze on them. Any ideas to make them not streak?

The best for hard water spots or soap scum is Bath Butler made by Diamond Products Inc. in Helena, Montana 1-406-449-6570 I have tried just about every thing and this stuff wipes right off any thing.

It's likely that these "streaks" are really a film of hard water deposits, and not soap scum, etc., at all. What I've used for decades on all glass, chrome and mirrors is a <b>dry</b> 0000 steel wool pad.

Through the sensitivity of your fingers/hand while you are scrubbing, you can tell when the glass is clean because as the pad takes off the mineral deposits the glass becomes very swift and smooth beneath your wiping pressure.

This method of glass cleaning has never failed me in my business.

My ex-mother in law cleaned these streaks, to my amazement, with a cloth dipped in Lemon Oil (I can't think of the brand). After you clean it with a normal shower/tub cleaner and let it dry, wipe the streaks with the Lemon Oil-soaked cloth. It has a light oily base, but those streaks and scum that have been left behind seem to just melt away and wipe right off. It worked on old shower stalls that seemed to be permanently streaked with soap scum. I didn't believe it could be done until I saw it with my own eyes!!
