A cost effective and simple way to clean mirrors and windows is to use club soda. Just plain club soda. Put some (undiluted) into a clean spray bottle. Spray onto window or glass to be cleaned.

and dip it into the liquid and then dab the paint with it. Wait a few minutes
then use a hard edge to scrape the paint free.
