Heather Bushem on Feb 02, 2015Yes, try pure vinegar with newspaper.... A little elbow grease should do the trick. Good luck! :-)Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Feb 03, 2015Can relate - love clean mirrors and windows and this used to drive me nuts. I wash with a bit of soap in warm water first. Then I rinse with clean water with a bit of vinegar. Then I polish with my Magic Cloth. Best product I've had for a long time.Helpful Reply

Patricia on Feb 03, 2015I've used 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 1 cup vinegar plus 1 tsp. Dawn to clean mirrors and glass for years. I do have a few microfiber cloths dedicated for mirror cleaning. Works like a charm!Helpful Reply

Donna on Feb 03, 2015I use a glass cleaning cloth that I purchased at a $ store. it is a very fine microfibre cloth and I use only water. it takes care of those ghastly smudges on the dresser mirrors, kitchen appliances and even my eye glasses! Best $4 I have ever spent! Don't throw it in the washer as you will fill the little fibres...I just use a little dish soap and wash it by hand. Mine is a year old and works as well as when it was new.Helpful Reply

MARY FISHER on Feb 03, 2015There are two things you can try, newspaper that is wadded up, read the ink on newspaper is a good window cleaner, and using coffee filters, haven't tried it, but have talked to others who swear by it!Helpful Reply

Cherie on Feb 03, 2015Microfiber works wonderfully unless you wash it and use fabric softener! Wash them by hand and hang them to dry! But it sounds to me that Darla may be right. Could be etched.Helpful Reply

Karyn Roesler on Feb 03, 2015Water, and newspaper or paper towel. Water is the only thing you need to clean a mirror. I used to clean hotel rooms. Water is streak free!Helpful Reply

Suzanne Melton on Feb 05, 2015Once upon a time, I had a retail store. One day, I was cleaning the glass of a new display cabinet. With Windex. And the afternoon sun was blazing in. I couldn't stop the streaks. The guy cleaning the windows on the outside came in and gave me a can of Sprayway Glass Cleaner. I used it to clean the glass next to the Windex part. Not even close. The can looks like this and it's available pretty much everywhere.Helpful Reply
