How on earth do I do this then?
I've spent hours spraying with vinegar and wiping with newspaper, but it's all smeary and covered in dust. I just can't get the dust and smears off. (and of course, 30 seconds after J's gone in the room, they are covered in cute little hand prints again!)
Our fitted wardrobes have three large glass doors, so can't just get rid of them (which is what I'd like to do).
I've just been goggling "how to paint mirror", but that seems like too much hard work.
Sorry Aqui, I'm of no earthly use here, I just live with smears. I would have thought that vinegar would work though.
I'm sure Alison will have a solution.
I would use the vinegar but lose the newspaper!
Spray the mirror using something like a JCloth wipe over an area then polish of with say some kitchen roll. Should sort it.
unless
someone has used windowlene before, that is a cow to remove.
But my wonderful '1000 Handy Household tips' book says
'General stains can be removed with a mild solution of white distilled vinegar amd warm water'
'Cold tea will also often remove marks on mirrors'

If you want a chemical solution then use windolene mirror and glass spray. squirt on, then wipe off with a dry cloth.
white vinegar should do the same though. Like Libby said, use kitchen roll, dry, and keep changing it, or a dry cotton tea towel, but using the dry bits.
