How to keep the glass shower doors streak-free?

I HATE with a passion our glass shower doors. They show every water spot. We wipe down the doors after showers, and I use the Mr Clean eraser to clean them. Does anyone have any tips to keep them looking streak-free?

Thanks, we wipe down after each shower, but it still looks like there are spots all over! Chat Icon Maybe we need a new wiper.

Like a sqeegee? When I lived home my mother would go nuts if we didn't do that after each shower. I swear, it's why I moved out! Chat Icon But I do remember that it worked well.

Take them down and put up a curtain like we did! Chat Icon

I had clear glass shower doors and hated them, especially the water spots. Since we give our son a bath in that tub, it was easier to remove them than clean them all the time!

do you have space to hang something also?

We took an extension rod and hung two shower curtains over the door so we can close it say we had guest over ... but also look nice to see if draped open.

can you get a textured glass? if not, we use scrubbing bubbles and just spritz it on. Does not leave streaks or water marks, but we have textured glass so it might and it could just be hard to tell.

We don't have textured glass. Chat Icon That wouldn't be so bad. I'd love to replace them, but we're in a condo and not staying there that long, so we're not putting too much $ into renovations.

Yeah, DH gets so ****** about having to use the sqeegee! Chat Icon

The squeegee thing was one of the "restriction" DH had about buying a house! He wouldn't even look at houses with glass doors in the bathroom because he didn't want to use a squeegee (yes, my mom makes us use one when we stay there!!). Needless to say, our masterbath has glass doors but I don't make him use one. We have a standup shower, not a bathtub.
THey make this stuff that you spray on the doors and walls after the shower that doesn't need rinsing.

the Squeege things works great i think to keep streaks from occuring...buts to get the streaks and spots out...I us a big car brush...one that you would normally use to clean the tires...(looks like a giant tooth brush) it works great.
