You can also pour boiled vinegar on the stain and then use a sponge, it will shine!
To clean shower doors plastic (polycarbonate), use a sponge with a few drops of lemon, or half a lemon a little old, it works!
For the glass walls, use diluted soap, then rinse and dry with a paper soaked in vinegar to remove all traces of soap.
