In this post I will make an attempt to solve a problem that bothers thousands of home owners around the world, that is, the issue of cloudy mirrors.
Let us say you own a full length mirror as part of your closet and it is now old and looks very cloudy then you are not alone. I have been there; I can bet that you neighbour has owned one too. Like me at some point, you might have tried everything you can to clean it to no avail.
Now if you are planning to keep the mirror how do you find a way to deal with its problem? What is the best way to clean it? As a decorative mirrors handcrafted specialist let me provide some few tips you can try out. These suggestions can apply to all kinds including unframed, oversized, compact, large or even bathroom floor length mirror.
One of the easiest ways is to clean it with water. Just warm the water or even to boil and then try to clean it. Keep the water pure i.e. without adding any additives. If you own plexy glass then you can be sure this will work pretty well.
Also try using some vinegar and a newspaper to wipe of the cloudiness. I mean it could be that someone once tried to clean it with something that was oily.
You can try to use some spray cleaners like windex. One thing I must mention here is that spray cleaners are good for some round bathroom mirrors and not for others. So you should not despair if that particular spray does not work on your mirror.
If all these tips fail then it probably means there are other reasons why it does not respond. For example, if the problem lies with the silver on the back of the mirror then trying to clean it will not work . This could be a cause to get rid of it but if you really can’t then try to get it re-slivered.
