Start by Dusting the Mirror

Use a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust, dirt, and debris. This prevents particles from smearing or scratching the surface during cleaning.

Choose the Right Cleaner

Both natural and commercial options can work—just avoid additives that cause streaking.

• DIY Option: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water for an eco-friendly, streak-free cleaner.
• Commercial Glass Cleaner: Choose one free of added dyes, fragrances, or soaps.

Apply the Cleaner Properly

Spray the solution onto a clean microfiber cloth—not directly onto the mirror. This prevents oversaturation and keeps moisture from running down the edges.

Wipe Using the Right Motion

Use circular motions starting from the top of the mirror and working downward to ensure even coverage and eliminate streaks.

Dry the Mirror Thoroughly

• For small mirrors: Use a fresh, dry microfiber cloth to buff out moisture and residue.
• For large mirrors: Use a squeegee to remove liquid quickly and evenly.

Handle Stubborn Spots with Care

Dampen a corner of the microfiber cloth with cleaner and gently rub to lift stuck-on splatters or greasy fingerprints.

Use the Right Tools for Best Results

• Microfiber cloths: Absorbent, lint-free, and gentle on glass.
• Squeegee: Excellent for large mirrors, ensuring quick drying without streaks.

Prevent Streaks Proactively

• Avoid using too much cleaner.
• Don’t wipe in a single direction—circular motions are key.
• Always finish with a dry cloth or squeegee to eliminate lingering moisture.

Treat Hard Water Stains Separately

If you notice mineral deposits, apply a more concentrated vinegar solution after cleaning to dissolve hard water spots.
