For a glass shower door that looks like a foggy window, reach for vinegar again. Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Spritz it on, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.
If the buildup is thick, make a paste of baking soda and vinegar. Yes, it fizzes like a volcano project in third grade. That fizzing action helps lift the grit. Rinse well, and dry with a microfiber cloth.
Clean Hard

The coffee maker and kettle: don’t you dare ignore them.
Your coffee maker has secret crud lurking inside its tubes. Fill the reservoir with equal parts water and vinegar. Run a brewing cycle, without coffee—just the vinegar water.
Then let it sit for 15 minutes. Run two more cycles with plain water to rinse. Your next cup of coffee will taste clean, not like a dusty old coin. And your kettle? Same deal: boil vinegar and water, let it sit, then boil plain water twice.
Trust me, your taste buds deserve this. Also, your kitchen gadgets will last years longer. Mineral buildup is basically silt in the engine of your appliances.
