    Most likely it is not gold on the doors but a simulated colored material. It is likely that most standard cleaning products and methods will work just fine.

    What about melted polyester fireplace glass?
    Community Answer
    Use a crumpled piece of aluminium foil. Dip in water and then ash. It gets rid of the real black baked on stains fast and does not scratch the ceramic.

    Do I need to wear gloves when I clean?
    Community Answer
    No, unless you are using chemicals that direct you to wear gloves while using them. The soot on the glass is as harmless as touching an unlit piece of charcoal. Do not clean the glass if it is too hot to touch. Not only will you probably burn your hand but almost any cleaning agent you use will evaporate almost immediately.
