Lots of ways to clean a mirror. Normally the best way to clean a mirror is "DON'T."
Telescope mirrors are first surface mirrors so any time you touch it with anything, you are touching and potentially damaging the coating.
What have you done so far? What scope is it and which mirror have you attempted to clean??
