Making my doors white again

Decorating my hallway, but don't want to have to regloss all the doors as they were only done a while back and just a bit grubby. They are just normal white gloss painted wooden doors, nothing unusual. What's the best way of getting them looking clean and bright white again, oh wise oldstylers?

Sugar soap! Available from any DIY type place. It's brilliant stuff. Purposely designed for cleaning paintwork before painting. Don't use it too often though because it can take the shine off gloss over time - but as a one off "grub shifter" treatment it can't be beaten.

Ooooh, we've got some of this in the cupboard already. Wasn't sure whether it would be too strong to use just as a cleaner rather than as a prep for painting, but if you're sure, I'll give it a go!
Thanks
