Plain hot water makes the best everyday cleaner for glass surfaces and mirrors. Use appropriate glass cleaning solutions and a microfiber cloth for cleaning. If you are using a chemical cleaner, take care not to spill it on any of the surrounding finishes. Never use abrasive materials as they may cause scratches on the surface.

First remove any dust and other non-sticky spills. Then spray water onto the surface with a spray bottle. Plain hot water works best since it leaves no streaks. Wipe the glass tabletop down with a microfiber cloth, to get rid of stains and dirt. Use straight vinegar to clean up spills or remove stubborn stains. Then use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to clean the vinegar away. As a final step, you can use a piece of crumpled newspaper to give your table an added sparkle. This removes any fluff and makes the glass shine.

After you give the glass surface or mirror a good cleaning, follow up once a week with a maintenance regimen and use regular water for the rest of the week.

Avoid using paper towels for cleaning mirrors and mirror glass surfaces, as these can leave unsightly lint behind. Don’t use abrasives or cleaners containing ammonia or acid, since such products can destroy the silver backing and edges of your mirror.
