    I use white vinegar and water 50/50 with a soft microfiber towel.

  • Vinegar water. Magic eraser if there is grime on it. Use microfiber or newspaper to shine it up.

    I use white vinegar too, but I find coffee filters work best for shining the mirror

    white vinegar
    apply with a paper towel or rag dampened with white vinegar, polish with a lint free rag or papertowel. also good for places that need antibacterial cleaning!

  • A white vinegar and water mixture should clean it, just don't get any on the frame. If it's cloudy or has black spots, the 'silver' has been damaged.

    I think that either alcohol or vinegar would work. I personally use vinegar on the windows. I have never mixed them together, they both pretty much do the same thing, the alcohol just makes it dry faster.

    Vinegar and water, maybe with a half drop of Dawn if they’re nasty. I scrub with old white socks and buff with old T-shirt’s (or coffee filters).

    Try using plain water with a little vinegar and using lint free cloths to aply and dry. I also use a squeegee to save time. Commercial spray cleaners leave a film for me also.

    white vinegar and water 50/50 a dab of blue dawn dish soap and a dab of jet dry, micro fiber cloth

    Mix 1 part hot water and 1 part vinegar. Either use a squeegee or bunched up newspaper. If you use the squeegee continue to wet it slightly as you go along. Newspaper print is great fo cleaning windows but you'll definitely want to use rubber gloves because other wise you will get newsprint all over your hands. For windows it's best to do it on a cloudy day rather than a sunny ay. For mirrors, of course, any time is O.K.

    I use vinegar and water or vinegar gel. Microfiber cloths and a squeegee will remove the cleaning products. My trick is to go horizontal drying outside and vertical on the inside so I can tell where any streaks are.

    Hi Abby, hope this helps you out.

    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.
