Scout's verdict
Dish soap’s surfactants lift body oil and soap film; vinegar is a good descaler for glass doors. Consumer Reports tried it and its experts backed it, with one big caveat: no vinegar on natural stone or grout.
Evidence: Consumer Reports · Consumer Reports: never clean these with vinegar
Bottom line: Works, and one bottle of Dawn lasts months this way.
⚠️ Safety
Skip the vinegar on marble, travertine, granite and grout. Soapy floors are slippery: rinse the floor well. Never combine with bleach-based shower sprays.
