Rubbing alcohol
If you see visible spots in your mirror, you have to get rid of them first before doing the cleaning method of your choice so you will not end up smearing the whole mirror. Get a clean cotton pad then wet it with rubbing alcohol. Use the pad to dab those spots away. Take note that this is a before cleaning step. You still have to do some actual cleaning after.

Bleach does not only brighten clothes they are very effective mirror cleaners too. Get a clean, dry, and white cloth. Pour some liquid bleach on it. Then, wipe the mirror evenly. After, take another clean, dry, and white cloth to wipe off the bleach. Take note that this method does not call for the use of water or a damp cloth.
Chlorine powder
