Easy, effective and chemical-free ways to clean a mirror, removing all fingerprints and toothpaste marks to leave a sparkling and streak-free surface.

Fingerprints, toothpaste splatter and streaks on a dirty mirror can be very irritating, but I have a few very quick solutions to help you have a beautifully clean mirror. Continue reading for my quick tips on how to clean a mirror.

There are a few different approaches I take to get wonderfully clean and streak-free mirrors, and all of them are super simple!

1. Homemade Mirror Cleaner

Use equal parts of the following:

• white vinegar
• water

Pour each into a spray bottle.  Use a paper towel or clean micro fibre cloth.

1. Spray the vinegar/water solution all over your mirror. A few squirts is plenty as you do not want to soak the mirror.
2. Fold your cloth in quarters, wipe the mirror from top to bottom in a zig zag motion.
3. Fold your cloth over to use a clean/dry quarter, and wipe again to buff.
4. Stand back and check that you have picked up all dirt and dust.

NOTE: If you have stubborn streaks use pure white vinegar to remove the build up on the glass, then follow the steps above. Remember to spray and wipe quickly (don’t spray and walk away) to avoid dirtying the mirror further with water stains.

2. Natural Store-Bought Glass Cleaner

If my mirrors are really dirty, this plant-based glass cleaner helps cut through the extra grime with minimal elbow grease. The peppermint oil in this cleaner also smells great and acts as a natural insect deterrent too.

3. Mirror-Cleaning Tools

A really quick and easy way to keep your mirrors clean is to regularly use these Glass and Window Eco Cloths. Simply add water and the microfibres will do the rest to clean and buff your mirrors, leaving you with lovely streak-free and shiny surfaces.

Another great option for larger mirrors (and shower screens too!) is to use this Window Squeegee. I especially like to use this on the bathroom mirrors after a steamy shower – they come up a treat!
