Got a new client who has asked me to do the insides as well, but he also asked me if I could clean his mirrors!  That's a new one on me, does anyone else do this, and if so, what's the best way?  He says he always leaves smears, which I assume is the duster and polish method.  Will a dry scrim be ok?  Or can you squeegee and applicate?

Thanks

I've used a applicator and squeegee on this.  However, I recently tried a different way.  I used some stuff called "Glaze" and wiped it with paper roll.  It brought it up really well.  I came across this way when I was doing a bit of office cleaning on the PAYE.  I don't think I would like to use this method for very large areas but for a few mirrors it worked well.

For mirrors I use a well wrung out mop and spray it with window cleaner and then squeegie the mirror.

I also have a few microfibre cloths that get used for nothing else and which get rinsed out in clean water afterwards.

I find by doing that, mirrors come up 100% perfect everytime

Yeh I've done this a couple of times, just used a mop and squeegee and it seemed to come up really nice. I guess glass is glass 

Although I must say it was really hard to see what I was doing as all I could see was my ugly mug!

Thanks guys, how much extra do you charge?

[S_RICHARDSON]

I dn't know because i've never cleaned them but if I was doing the insides already i'd probly charge 50p to a £1 each mirror!

Did the mirrors today, very easy and I'm really chuffed with how great they looked however the owner has really wound me up.  I know I shouldn't let them, but it's annoyed me all day.  Last week, when I canvassed the house, I quoted them £49 inside and out including a conservatory.  He said ok, and then mentioned the mirrors, whereby I told him I would let him know a price once I've seen and cleaned them.  Took me 2 and a half hours to do today - 5 mirrors, one double mirrored wardrobe and he also asked me to clean the outside of a window above the conservatory from the inside leaning out.  If you see what I mean, very dirty coz never been cleaned, and awkward leaning out but not dangerous.  Anyway, when it came to pay he gave me £50 - er, hello, £1 for 5 mirrors, double wardrobe and filthy dirty window, I don't think so.  So I said it's £56, thinking £7 is reasonable (probably should have charged couple of quid more but thought I wouldn't as he'll be a regular etc) and he wanted to know why it was more!  He paid me £56 but then said he'll call me when he next wants them done.  Really, really livid

for mirrors a microfibre cloth is briiliant and very quick.
