Oftentimes, people clean mirrors & glass with the standard window cleaner, however this usually leaves streaks, specks, dirt, & fog of cleaning chemicals behind. But why not try something more powerful & direct, & use Windex instead, a proven cleaning solution from the get-go? All you need is a new bottle – spray of it, along with a small cotton pad, & you're good to go. Scrub at it!
Because of these side effects, there is a better solution for cleaning your mirrors & glass. First off, go ahead & mix together one cup of white or distilled vinegar with one quart of warm water. Next, use newspaper as your cleaning cloth. Crumple the newspaper up into useable sizes. Then do a pre-cleaning with a cloth that is soft & non-abrasive, using plain water to remove any heavy dirt or marks. The next step is to dip the newspaper into the vinegar water solution & rub the paper in slow circles across the mirror. Make sure to cover the entire surface. Once this is complete, go over the wet areas with a dry portion of newspaper. This should leave the mirror dry & keep drip marks from drying onto the surface.
