Mirrors
To clean mirrors use a clean, dry cloth and one of the following
solutions:
1. Mix 1/3 cup of clear ammonia in 1 gallon of warm water. Apply it with a
sponge/squeegee or put the solution into a spray container and spray it
directly on the mirror. Buff with a lint-free cloth, chamois, or paper
toweling, Vinegar may be substituted for ammonia.
2. Put some vinegar into a pan or bowl, and then scrunch up a piece of
newspaper, dap it into the vinegar, and rub it on to your mirror. Wipe the
mirror several times using the same newspaper until the mirror is nearly dry.
Then shine it with a clean dry piece of newspaper or a soft cloth.
3. Mix 2 cups isopropyl1 rubbing alcohol (70% solution) with 2 tablespoons
of liquid dishwashing detergent, and 2 cups of water. Stir until thoroughly
mixed and then pour into a spray bottle, and spray it directly onto your
mirror. Rub your mirror using a lint-free cloth, paper towel, or chamois.
