Initial cleaning: Try a clean soft cloth or paper towel to wipe off dust and loose stains on the mirror surface. This step will remove most of the dust. It can also avoid spreading dust and dirt on the mirror when it is wet, forming new stains.
Choose a cleaner: Before wetting the mirror, choose a suitable cleaner to clean. General online purchase can be, most of the glass cleaner is a cleaning effect. If you are in a hurry to clean but do not have a cleaner, you can make your own cleaner. If white vinegar and water are adjusted 1:1, this is a simple glass cleaner.
Spray the cleaner: Now evenly spray the cleaner on the mirror surface. It is not necessary to spray too much, and the spray area can cover the entire area after wiping. Too much spray can get cleaner running on the frame.

Cleaning methods for different types of stains
Dust: Dust can be gently wiped with a dry cloth or paper towel. Because the dust is relatively easy to clean, you can wipe it without using detergent. If there is a lot of dust, you can use a vacuum cleaner to gently suck off most of the dust, and then wipe with a damp cloth.
Water stains: For some stubborn water stains, you can use a simple cleaning agent (a mixture of white vinegar and water) to clean. Spray the mixture on the water stain and leave it for a few minutes to clean better. Then wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
Handprints and fingerprints: Handprints and fingerprints can be cleaned with alcohol. Spray the stain with alcohol and wipe it off with a soft cloth. Alcohol can effectively remove oil. So alcohol is better than detergent.
Soap and toothpaste stains: Soap and toothpaste stains can also be cleaned with a simple cleaner or a suitable glass cleaner. Spray before wiping. For stubborn stains, spray several times, and then wipe many times.
Cosmetics and sprays: Stains on cosmetics and sprays can be cleaned with alcohol or glass cleaner. Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with the appropriate amount of detergent to ensure that the stain can be completely removed.
