    I don't bother and it sort of comes and goes. Think it comes down to the type of wood I'm burning.

    I've found brasso/duraglit works well

    scrunch up a bit of newspaper then dampen it (you can just spit on it, but vinegar does work well). You could use a damp cloth but damp newpsaper does a perfectly good job.
    dip it in the woodash (NOT coal ash) and then rub the glass.

    clean off with a damp cloth.
    The textbook approach as recommeded by Clearview installers.

    What are you burning in it? Wood the groundsman has just chopped down from the copse in your manor? Need to season it for 18 months or so first . . .

    Or use a decent coal - I like homefire - pretty shape!

    Oven cleaner, look at the bottle and see if can be used on oven glass doors.
    They usually say leave on for a couple of hours. Leave the doors open, but don't forget to put some paper down to catch any drips. I usually remove with Stanley blade scraper.

    I bet vinegar will do it. It does everything.

    Warning: Clitty Bang strips the finish off plastic stuff, like loo seats, baths, etc. Found out this useful info. when doing a final clean of a very expensive & posh property I was renting. It was dispiriting to see the loo seat change colour, and then realise that the bath was in the same way, as I'd left it to soak in the stuff! It was tricky making it look OK for the inspection, as even a light sprinkling of water made the surfaces change colour, as if spattered in paint.
