How to care for mirrors so that they remain pleasing to the eye for a long time?
A mirror is not only a practical piece of furniture but also a decorative element that visually enlarges a space and adds a touch of glamour. However, to ensure it always looks its best, it's important to properly care for and clean it.
1. Regular wiping
Dust and fingerprints are mirrors' biggest enemies. For daily cleaning, a soft microfiber cloth is sufficient – it doesn't scratch the surface and effectively removes dirt.
2. Suitable cleaning agents
It's best to use cleaners designed for windows and mirrors. Avoid strong detergents and ammonia-based products, which can damage the protective coating over time.
3. Washing technique
It's a good idea to spray the cleaner onto a cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to avoid streaking the frame. Clean using circular motions or a crisscross pattern to avoid streaking.
4. Protection against moisture
It is a good idea to ensure proper ventilation in the bathroom - excess water vapor can cause the edges of the mirror to become dull over time.
5. Frames and details
If the mirror has a frame, remember to clean it separately, according to the material it is made of (e.g. aluminum).
With a few simple habits, the mirror will retain its shine and decorate the interior for years.
