Before I cleaned my mirror. All jewellery is removed. I made sure that the laundry tub was scrubbed clean including the plug and tap. The curtain was removed also. The mirror is given a dust off with canned air then placed in the tub and gradually filled it from the hot tap until the water temperature reached about 40 C. A 50/50 mixture of baby shampoo and isopropyl alcohol is mixed in and let the mirror soak for about 5 mins to allow the oils/grease to lift from the surface. (If you live in the suburbs you can bet that exhaust pollution, jet fumes and smoke from a neighbours BBQ will find it's way to the mirrors!) The mirror is then swished around for a few minutes. Rinse the mirror with warm tap water then drain the tub. Another mixture of baby shampoo and warm distilled water is made up in a bowl with a dozen or so cotton balls. Hold the mirror at an angle in the tub then clean the surface by drawing and turning the cotton ball under it's own weight in one direction only then
discard after one application across. Rinse in warm tap water then with distilled water and allow to dry with the mirror near verticle. Any remaining water droplets can be touched off using a corner of a tissue. Allow to cool completly before reinstalling.
Cheers!
