How can I clean my Mirrors and Windows?

Question

I have mirrored wardrobes and they always look smeary even after I've cleaned them, I ususally use windowlene but it doesn't seem to get them crystal clean, same goes for my windows.

Answer 1

Personally  dont like   commercial  window  cleaners     Warm water  just a hint of detergent   and vinegar,     Wash with sponge   .  Can use sqeegee or soft polishing cloth

Answer 2

warm water , drop of vinegar in the water ,use a lint free cloth to wash them then dry off with newspaper

Answer 3

Try using diluted vinegar and newsprint. The vinegar is great for cleaning glass and mirrors, and newsprint is pretty good for not leaving streaks.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Don't use paper towels or rags to clean mirrors and windows.  They actually clean better with newspaper.

Answer 5

Go to Big Lots and buy some of the new microfiber rags, I think they're in the auto section.  They work great.  All you do is wet it, wring out the excess water and get it as dry as you can , then wipe to clean mirrors, windows etc.  They're only a couple bucks.  Water and vinegar works good like the other people are suggesting but the I still prefer the rags with just water.

Answer 6

It does sound crazy but vinegar is amazing at cleaning glass. Put a bit of lemon juice in it to smell nice and dilute with water.

Now put a bit of elbow greasy into it et voila

Answer 7

Use Vinegar and newspaper & then polish them with a dry cloth when they are dry.

Answer 8

Hi, it sounds like you have hard water in your area and the smeary stains will be calcium or magnesium deposits. Try the step-by-step solution below and you should have the mirror sparkling again.

Formula to Use:

½ liter white vinegar and ¼ liter of water

Method to Use:

1. Fill a clean spray bottle with pure vinegar

2. Spray the vinegar/water solution over the mirror and wait for a few minutes

3. If stains are stubborn spray more solution and wait a while longer

4. Scrub lightly with a soft sponge or cloth and rinse

Tip: Try to deal with the water spots straight away as the solution works best with newly formed or mild hard water spots.
