The mirrors should be cleaned on a weekly basis or daily basis depending upon usage. The mirrors are gold faced and can easily be damaged if not handled carefully.
The mirrors can blister and crack if they are not kept clean. When cleaning always put the mirrors with the gold face uppermost and only use the proper cleaning materials.

If the mirror is dirty you may have to repeat this process several times with a new paper each time. The fluid will evaporate leaving a clean and shiny surface. After a
period of time, a film of cleaning fluid will build up on the surf
ace of the mirrors. Under these circumstances, it will be necessary to use a complete cleaning sheet,
folded into a pad. Drop a spot of fluid onto the cleaning paper and then apply A REASONABLE PRESSURE with your finger as you drag it across the surface of the mirror.
