Wood ash (from the fire), mixed with water. I put it on a sponge and use that on my woodburner and it comes up a treat. Having said that, if you're burning efficiently, with the right (dry, seasoned) wood, then you shouldn't have to clean it that often. I do it around once every two weeks or so: mine's a "cleanburn" wood stove.

We have a double door Stovax multifuel, although it is supposed to be a 'clean glass' it does get pretty dirty if we leave it half shut down at night, it will clean its self a little if you burn logs really high for about 1/2 an hour but it still needs a clean up 3 times a week. I use a non scratch washing up pad with a spot of cif to clean it then just wipe it off with a a couple of pieces of kitchen roll, it comes up a treat. The glass till looks perfect after a year of cleaning.
Hope this helps.

any stove will get dirty glass if closed down as you are starving the stove of air.

If you open the fire up full blast it should clear most of it but apart from that the best glass cleaner is Stovax GEL glass cleaner

I'd agree with that: you can almost see the mist clearing on the glass when it's burning at a high temperature.
