white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and an ecloth.

Strange place to post about how to clean mirrors - the work/volunteering forum. I suppose cleaning mirrors could be classed as work though! ??

No link clicking!
Nice try though!

how do you clean mirrors with my hands. Hope that helps, not!!!!

I never use ant ‘product’. Just glass/mirror e cloths. Wet the first cloth with just water, dry off with the second. Sparkling!

Clever though…..still not clicking the link.

Use hot soapy water to remove the residue from previous cleaners.
Dry with a lint free cloth.
Now just use diluted white vinegar in a spray..

Damp cotton cloth.

I used to use vinegar (and vodka, at one point, then I ran out) but read that it can corrode the silver backing to the mirror if it seeps under the glass.

I use glass cleaner and a glass cloth, seems to work.

I clean mine with a damp cloth dipped in warm water and white vinegar and dry/polish them after with a soft, old linen tea towel. We have mirrored wardrobe doors that get covered with hand prints (and dog's nose prints) and it brings them up a treat.

Narta I am puzzled why you need advice on this matter. is there something hidden in the question that we are all missing, or how is it that you have never seen any mention of glass cleaning anywhere before?

I'm another one who uses Method and kitchen roll.

Spray of Pledge multi-surface on mirrors and glass doors throughout the house, buffed with a microfibre cloth.
Not the most environmentally aware method, but the way I've done it for years!

M0nica Mon 15-Aug-22 16:56:58

I also use glass cleaner, and a Kitchen roll, again, never had a problem.

GG crossed posts. grin

I recommend Method Glass Cleaner. Use it with a non fluffy cloth. I find it is quick and smear free on windows and mirrors.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 15-Aug-22 16:54:40

I use Method Glass cleaner with kitchen roll, never had a problem

How do you clean mirrors? Can this be done quickly and efficiently?
