Isopropyl alcohol is at 99%, for evaporation.
Start with the gentlest methods first. Slowly get a little more aggressive in your cleaning. Be prepared to leave stubborn areas!
I tend to submerse the mirror first to try and float away most of the muck. Then a gentle clean with running water from the outside in. If you find something that needs a good rub to get it off, leave it!
Distilled water for the rinse will not leave fluoride and chlorine residues etc... I tend to drip dry mine upright and slightly tipped forward.
If you're cleaning EP's, keep the fluids from running, the coatings are pretty tough, but, liquids can get in between the coatings and the glass very easily. Then you might have little bubbles of lifting like a bad tint job afterwards. Keep the q-tip etc damp not wet.
