on 2/2/2009 Just use a fresh single edge razor blade on glass or tiles...works great and no fumes. Spray the residue away after you're done scraping. This is much faster and safer than using chemicals, neater and you don't need gloves.

on 7/27/2008 Mr. Clean Eraser and Palmolive Gel Diswashing Detergent worked for me. Do it exactly the way SHALYMAR413 instructs. It didn't even take a lot of effort.

on 7/9/2008 After reading about the Mr. Clean eraser tip, I had to try it right away -- it was amazing and easy. We're in the process of selling our house, so I'm a real fanatic about spotless cleanliness, and this truly did the trick.

OK, SO I'VE TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING: KABOOM, SHOUT, WATER/VINEGAR MIX, MR. CLEAN ERASER, DRYER SHEET (WHICH LEFT A SMALL SCRATCH IN THE GLASS), ETC... I FINALLY CAME ACROSS A SUGGESTION: MR. CLEAN ERASER + A LITTLE DISHWASHING DETERGENT... I THOUGHT 'WHAT THE HECK' I HAD ALREADY TRIED MR. CLEAN ERASER BY ITSELF, WHY NOT... TRIED IT... IT WAS AWESOME... THIS IS HOW I DID IT...
1. APPLIED A LITTLE BIT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO THE CENTER OF A MR. CLEAN ERASER.
2. APPLIED TO MY GLASS DOORS.
3. USED A WET TOWEL TO WIPE THE SOAP OFF (IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, THE TOWEL WAS WHITE, ALTHOUGH I DON'T THINK THAT MATTERS.)
4. USED ANOTHER TOWEL TO WIPE DRY.
IT LEFT THE DOORS SPARKLING CLEAN! NO SOAP SCUM, NO RESIDUE, NO STREAKS... THEY LOOKED EXACTLY THE WAY THEY DID WHEN WE FIRST INSTALLED THEM.
