Mirrors can make a room look larger and brighter, but when they become hazy with dirt, dust, and residue, it can be difficult to get them back to their original sparkle. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to clean a mirror that is hazy and restore its shine.
Remove Dust and Residue
The first step in cleaning a mirror that is hazy is to remove the dust and residue that has accumulated on the surface. This can be done with a soft cloth or microfiber cloth dampened slightly with water. Be sure not to use too much water so as not to leave streaks on the mirror’s surface. Carefully wipe away the dust and residue in an up-and-down or side-to-side motion until the entire surface of the mirror is free of debris.
Use Vinegar Solution
Another effective way to clean your hazy mirror is by using a vinegar solution. Simply mix one part white vinegar with one part distilled water in a spray bottle. Spray this solution onto the mirror’s surface and then use your soft cloth or microfiber cloth to wipe it away in an up-and-down or side-to-side motion until the entire surface of the mirror is clean. This method will not only help lift any grime from the surface but will also dissolve any remaining residue for a more thorough cleaning experience.
Polish The Mirror
Once you have removed all of the dirt and residue from your mirror’s surface, it’s time to polish it for maximum shine. To do this, simply mix together equal parts window cleaner and white vinegar in a spray bottle and apply it evenly over your already cleaned mirror’s surface. Then use your soft cloth or microfiber cloth once again to wipe away any remaining vinegar solution in an up-and-down or side-to-side motion until you have achieved maximum shine on your newly polished mirror’s surface!
Finally, if you want your newly polished mirrors look their best for longer periods of time, consider applying furniture wax after polishing them as this will help protect them from future dirt buildups while still preserving their beautiful shining surfaces! This will require wiping down all of your mirrors with furniture wax every month or two depending on how often they are used – but it’s well worth taking these extra steps for long lasting results!
