That isn't so laborious I'll never do it?! Grin

Thanks

Damp cloth, wipe. Lint free absorbent cloth (or just the hand towel if you’re me), dry vigorously. Careful not to put too much water on initially so drying isn’t a pain. Maybe I’m hideously slovenly but this has always done the trick for me.

Really, with no product of any sort? Sounds great. I can definitely manage that!

White vinegar diluted in a spray bottle if you have "greasy" type marks on their - spray on sparingly and buff off with lint free cloth or newspaper

There ffs!

I'm with Etymology23 - damp cloth, wipe, grab a dry cloth or the hand towel and wipe the water off. Done.

And if you get one of those micro cloths specially made for windows and mirrors you don't even have to wipe it dry (Lakeland do them). I use them on the windows and they are smear free. Marvellous!

E cloths! Basically the same thing Etymology23 and LondonJax said. I use them for cleaning everything, but especially mirrors, windows and shower screens

A karcher. I don't know how much it costs now, but I bought mine for about £30 a couple of years ago. (I have two wall mirrors in the bathroom, not my choice, but was there when I bought the house)

Other than that, Windolene and a paper towel, although a bit more strenuous.

Easier than that is to buy dusting Polish that's multi surface. As I'm dusting I nip into the bathrooms and wipe the cloth over the mirror. Easy peasy.

jomantha · 01/07/2018 04:12

I use vinegar and water to clean it. The wipe dry with a paper towel.

spotthedot · 01/07/2018 04:14

Damp cloth, bit of hand soap if there’s any stubborn splashes, dry with kitchen paper towel.

Fab thanks all

.... and if it's a bathroom mirror (so prone to steaming up) use some Rain X Anti Fog as a final polish. My bathroom mirrors never steam up now....
