I'm told that this mirror was once accidentally cleaned with pledge and no matter what I do I can't get the streaks to go away .

Use windex, but wipe it with newspaper. I know it sounds crazy, but my husband showed me the trick on some windows that were streaked. (The streaks weren't from pledge, but it was some kind of wood cleaner.) Just wipe the windex off with the crumpled up newspaper instead of paper towels.

Auuughhh, when someone streaks in front of a mirror, that image is in there forever. Nothing you can do will ever remove the memory of that sight. Best to just get a new mirror.

Spray on ammonia water. Clean.
Spray on vinegar and water. That will work, too. Also - use paper towels. Residue on cloth towels from fabric softener can streak a mirror.

Nonsense, wash the mirror with a fine steel wool pad. Rinse well and then clean with window cleaner.

That mirror might have a build-up of cleaning products - try using straight vinegar - it's cheap and should cure the problem.

The mirror in my bathroom was dulled by years of morning farts, but i was able to clean it with rubbing alcohol, followed by water, then Windex.

Use Windex and News Paper.

Try hot water with dish soap. you may have to go over it a few time and be sure to dry it off with clean towel or paper towel. for me, this has worked better than window cleaners and vinegar.

wow, pledge huh? well... my best advice would be to use a VERY small amount of nail polish remover... or any other alcohol based product and wipe it off... rinse with water... then, once its dry... use windex or window cleaner.

Use a damped cloth with a little bit of dish soap and than windex and newspaper. IT WORKS!
