Is the stain just around the edges of the mirror? If so, the cleaner probably ran to the edge of the mirror and got on the back of the mirror and damaged the "silvering". That is expensive to fix. You should always spray your glass cleaner on your polishing cloth, not directly on the mirror.

Request: Stain From Cleaner On Bathroom Mirror
Archived on 01/15/2007
I have used a cleaner, or something on my mirror in the bathroom that has cause a stain that won't go away. It is not a water stain. It is from a cleanser. Anyone have any ideas on how to clean it off. I have tried a lot of things, even oven cleaner. I think that made it worse.

RE: Stain From Cleaner On Bathroom Mirror
Dear Kathy 3335, a friend of mine mistakenly let some bathroom cleanser dry on her bathroom mirror. (The label had said to rinse off immediately if used on a mirror but she didn't read it in time.) Anyway, the darn stuff dried on her mirror like rock; she and her husband tried just about everything to get it off with no luck and then decided to try toothpaste which worked like a charm! Not sure exactly what kind of toothpaste they used and you might want to try a little toothpaste on the mirror in the corner first to make sure it doesn't ruin the finish; but it might be worth a try. Good luck! (04/30/2005)
