How to clean a mirror for a sparkling, streak-free result: a simple method

Have you ever tried to calculate how much time you spend in front of a mirror every day? The number might surprise you. So why not give yourself the best possible view? To do so, of course, you'll have to work a little harder and clean the mirror.

OBOZREVATEL found out how to do this so that no streaks remain. We also tell you how to keep your bathroom mirror from fogging up.

How to clean a mirror correctly

Start by removing stubborn stains. Particles of hair styling products, various cosmetics, fingerprints, toothpaste, etc., can remain on bathroom mirrors or the dressing table. Alcohol will help dissolve them easily. Wipe the surface with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol, and the stains will disappear.

To clean the mirror, use your usual glass cleaner. It can be a factory-made liquid or something you made yourself. The main thing is that you are confident in the result.

Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the mirror. Work from edge to edge, and then from top to bottom, avoiding circular motions as they can leave streaks.

If you want to make sure the mirror is clean enough, walk around the room and look at it from different angles. Any stains or fingerprints that remain after this treatment can be removed by polishing them with a little white vinegar and paper towels. This will give you a shiny, stain-free surface.

How to prevent mirror fogging

Use dishwashing detergent to keep your mirror from becoming covered in a thin "mist" of water vapor when you take a bath or shower. Take a drop of liquid or gel, rub it thoroughly over the surface, and polish it with a paper towel. This treatment should be enough for about two weeks, after which the procedure will have to be repeated.
