You'll need to remove the glass from the fireplace, but not before turning off the pilot light. Then mix a 50/50 solution of White Vinegar & Water. Using a sponge soaked in the solution and partially wrung out, clean the glass on both sides using the solution & sponge. Reapply as necessary until the glass is clean. Dry thoroughly with paper towels, before reinstalling the glass.
The heat stain is not really a heat stain. It's left over residue, from when someone used commercial glass cleaner to clean the glass. The white stain is from the ammonia in the cleaner.

Check your owner's manual, but most self-cleaning ovens should not be cleaned with chemicals. The finish can be permanently damaged. You might try running the oven through the self-cleaning cycle more than once. It will take some time. Make sure the room is ventilated properly since the cleaning cycle produces a lot of heat.
Windex and newspaper should do. You sure they are water spots and not the glass? When they set out the plastic impregnated in the glass (safety glass), seperates slightly and looks like a water spot or even a bubble. It is a combination of heat & sun rays. May have to live with it or replace the glass.
You say your new oven...and DW have stains...I will assume (if that's OK) that you have a stainless steel oven...and are washing stainless steel in the DW...but you are having streaks and or white...spots or deposits...Sounds like hard water...you may try a localized..(just for the DW and kitchen sink area) filtration system...to reduce hardness of water...(is this well water)..if so you definitely need filtration...if you don't already have it. Here are some issues and or cleaning techniques for stainless steel.
stainless steel is known for its ability to be a clean surface that
resists corrosion and rust. Dirt, dust and grime, however, put
stainless steel at risk for corrosion and rust. Luckily, stainless
steel responds well to cleaning, never wearing out from excessive
cleaning, as long as certain rules are followed. 1. Water and a cloth.
Routine cleaning can be accomplished by using warm water and a cloth.
This is the least risky option For cleaningstainless steel. Dry with a
towel or cloth to prevent water spots. Wipe in the directions of the
polish lines. 2. Mild detergent, (dish washing liquid) and cloth. For
cleaning that needs more power, mild detergent and warm water can do a
great job without damaging the stainless steel. Make sure you rinse the
surface thoroughly to prevent staining and spotting. Towel dry to
prevent water spots which can be caused by minerals in water. 3. Glass cleaner for fingerprints.
Fingerprints are one of the biggest complaints about stainless steel,
but can be taken care by using glass cleaner or household ammonia.
Rinse thoroughly and towel dry. There are some newer types of finishes
for stainless steel that resist fingerprints, a must if your pint-sized
helpers leave their mark on your stainless steel appliances. 4. stainless steel Cleaner.
If you’ve had staining or scratching, or need to polish your stainless
steel, a stainless steel cleaner may be a good option. Some of these
cleaners and polishes can help minimize scratching and remove stains.
They also can polish stainless steel surfaces nicely. Read the
directions on the stainless steel cleaner and test in an inconspicuous
spot. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and towel dry.
If this does not help please clarify...with specific model #'s and walk me through (step by step) what the specific problem is and how you address it....Thank you and I hope this helps............. Good Luck...........The Fang.
