Baader Optical Wonder Fluid - Cloth

[FLO]

Cleaning a Newtonian mirror isn't difficult. Remember, you aren't cleaning the aluminised surface, you are cleaning the silicon dioxide overcoat (assuming it is a well-made mirror). 

Fill a bowl with water (use distilled water if you live in a hard-water area) and add a drop or two of mild liquid detergent.

Use a cup to run the water over the mirror surface then wet some surgical cotton-wool balls in the water and gently wipe the mirror clean - keep changing the cotton balls. 

Rinse the mirror off with clean water then set the mirror on its edge on some paper towels (to absorb the moisture) to dry. Easy
