I am assuming that the stove is not in use at the moment? The answer is baking soda! Dampen a paper towel and sprinkle the baking soda on it and start rubbing on the soot. The soot will loosen immediately, and it is a simple matter to wash the baking soda off. An added advantage is that the baking soda is a natural product that will not scratch the glass and won't leave a chemical smell.
The baking soda is an excellent cleaner for plastics also and will not remove the finish of coated plastics.
Another method I've used on occasion is to clean the glass 10 minutes after lighting a fire. If you time it right, the soot will come right off with just a wet sponge or scouring pad - no special cleaners necessary. Of course, if you wait too long, it gets too hot to touch, so you need to do it early.

∙ 12y agoA glass fireplace door will certainly get hazy and dirty over time. It is important that this be cleaned somewhat regularly to remove buildup.
Traditional glass cleaners can damage the fireplace door and potentially leave harmful chemicals behind. The best method is to use cleaner that is specifically designed for fireplace glass. This should only be applied when the fireplace is completely cool. Care should be taken to completely follow the specific instructions of the cleaner.
