Hi all
I have found that sometimes not all the dirt comes off when you wash it..so it's best to leave it alone..also...some may experience a swirl pattern after washing/rinsing as it happened to me..I found the cause to be a greasy substance being smeared by water pressure from the tap..(which I no longer do!!)..now I soak the mirror and gradually warm the water to about 35 degrees C before adding a drop of baby shampoo (diluted) to help lift the dirt off...after about 15 minutes of soaking...rinse gently with tap water followed by distilled water..leave standing on it's edge and remove any drops with a corner of a clean facial tissue..(just touch the drops, not the mirror!)
Even with a slight film on the mirror (which is only visible when you shine a torch on it) it doesn't affect the image quality!!!
Cheers!!
