All About Cleaning A Cloudy Mirror
I have met a number of people who are having trouble with cleaning their mirrors that have become cloudy and today I want to try and help you in that regard.
If you have, say, 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. I tried everything I could to clean it until I got rid of it only to discover the best cleaning methods months after I had gotten rid of it.
Now if you are planning to keep the mirror how do you find a way to deal with its problem? How do you go about cleaning it? As a decorative venetian mirrors junkie I can share a few tips on how to go about doing this. You can use these suggestions for a variety of mirrors including large, oversized, compact, framed, unframed including body length mirrors.
You can simply clean them with some water. You can use warm or hot water. Do not add anything to the water i.e. it must be pure. I know that this can work well especially for plexy glass.
Another option is to simply use vinegar and newspaper. I mean it could be that someone once tried to clean it with something that was oily.
Another alternative is to use spray cleaners like Windex or something similar. One thing I must mention here is that spray cleaners are good for some decorative bathroom mirror and not for others. So you should not despair if that particular spray does not work on your mirror.
If all this does not work, then there are probably other reasons why it is so cloudy. For one if could be that the silver on the back of the mirror is peeling off. You can simply fix this by having it re-silvered especially if you really can’t get rid of it.
