Is it water spots or is the mirror "going blind?"
If it is calcium buildup you might try CLR, but try it in an inconspicuous area first. Also, Bar Keepers Friend in liquid would be worth trying. Some older mirrors have imperfections in them and no amount of cleaning will remove it. Good luck.
If you can't remove the spots, maybe they are from hair spray? If so, try some acetone nail polish remover on a spot.
Probably due to age or damp getting to back of mirror. If you want to stop it getting any worse, you could use a sealer around the edge and or Frame it as well.
Try cleaning with vinegar and water and wiping with a microfiber cloth.
If it's an old mirror, could be the back coating wearing off. Could possibly have it refinished. I think they used a mercury mix in the old days, so you'd definitely want to make sure this isn't the case for mercury exposure.
I kind of like the "character" the spotting gives to the ages mirrors, so I'd use it as a framed piece with candles around (& mercury glass accents)
Thanks
Mix one-part vinegar with four parts water and pour it into the spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the cotton cloth or directly onto the mirror. Before the spray dries, wipe the mirror from side to side or up and down with the cotton cloth. Never wipe the mirror in circles.
