Mirrors get splashed with water very often and when that dries out spots get left behind. The same thing happens to windows, and the sight can be very unpleasant to look at.
To make your mirrors and windows look clean, take a steam cleaner and run it across the glass from left to right, top to bottom, and using a squeegee, wipe away the water. Do that multiple time to get better results.
Also, integrate this process into your cleaning routine and do it more often, because the stains and spots tend to build up again on the glass surface of mirrors and windows.

There are big steam vacuum cleaners and carpet steam cleaners, but an effective job of cleaning your rug is the result of using a small, regular steam cleaner. That’s because it tends to be more effective with the treatment of small stains.
First, locate the stains that your rug has. Second, grab your steam cleaner and start pointing its nozzle to each individual stain. Treat every spot for a period of 30 to 60 seconds, or until the stain starts to loosen up, then move on to the next spot. Make sure to use a paper towel or a clean cloth to wipe away the loosened up stains.
