Thanks for the lead...

A couple of years ago, I even contacted the manufacturer from the name on my last can to try and find some. Ebay had single cans going for $20 to $30.

In the interim, I've been using Sprayway...

Thanks again...

Window cleaner and newspaper, the newspaper puts a film on the mirror that stops future streaking.

Hot water with vinegar, wipe with newspaper. Absolutely the best, no cost, non-toxic, what's not to love?!

Coffee filters for the final polish absolutely. The slight coarseness picks up Everything and leaves nothing but clean glass and your smiling face.

I use windex and newspaper. I tried the microfiber towels, but they too still leave lint on my mirrors. They seem to stay cleaner (catching less dust) with the windex & newspaper method

Any cleaning products are advisable but try to use vinegar. Just put straight white vinegar, or you can mix it with a little water, in a spray bottle, spray it right on the mirror or glass, and wipe it off with paper towels. I have even used newspapers to wipe it off. I learned this because I got a parrot and they are very sensitive to the vapours of household cleaners, so this was a natural alternative. When I tried it, it worked better than any cleaner I had ever bought from the store. Cheaper too!
Goodluck

I have to update this post. I have to share what I have found and been using for 2 years now.

I am always getting positive points for this post. So I wanted to update and share on what I have found that absolutely works the best for me since I first posted this question regarding cleaning mirrors.

"Flour Sack towels and Seventh Generation Free & Clear Window Cleaner."

Flour Sack towels are lint-free and the Seventh generation window cleaner is natural so there are no icky chemicals to breath.

My mirrors and windows look beautiful!!!
