HOW TO CLEAN MIRRORS

What You’ll Need

Doing your morning outfit check only to see cloudy streaks or grime on your mirror? Hard pass.

Mirrors are notoriously easy to smudge—especially in bathrooms. Toothpaste splatter, fingerprints, hairspray residue, steam, and everyday dust all contribute to buildup. Using the wrong tools or technique often makes mirrors look worse, not better.

Why Mirrors Get Streaky

Streaks usually happen when cleaner is sprayed directly onto the mirror and wiped around carelessly. Oils and grime get spread across clean areas, leaving haze behind. Circular wiping motions can also redeposit dirt and oils back onto the glass.

Paper towels and newspapers aren’t ideal either—they often leave lint, dust, or residue. A flat-weave microfiber cloth is the best choice because it cleans without shedding fibers.

A Better Way to Clean Mirrors

ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® cuts through greasy smudges, hairspray residue, and everyday grime without ammonia, bleach, or soap, leaving mirrors crystal clear and streak-free.

Directions for Cleaning Mirrors

For best results, clean mirrors when the surface is cool.

  1. Prepare Your Cleaning Cloth

Lightly spray ADVANAGE the Wonder Cleaner® onto a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid spraying directly onto the mirror, as excess liquid can seep behind the glass and damage the backing over time.

  1. Wipe Methodically

Starting at the top left corner, wipe the mirror in a tight zig-zag pattern across and downward. This prevents spreading residue over clean areas.

  1. Buff Dry

Use a second, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface until completely clear and streak-free.
