Check out some amazing and simple "life hacks" above.

Many of the newer glass shower doors are coated with a substance that may be damaged by harsh cleaners. If you don't want to use vinegar make sure you use a foaming glass cleaner specifically made for shower doors.

And it also helps to dry the door off (or use a squeegie) after showering so the soap scum doesn't dry on in the first place.; Reply to this comment
