Tips About Cleaning Cloudy Decorative Mirrors

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.

Let us say you own a full length mirror and is now worn out and cloudy one thing I can say is that you are together with millions of others across the globe. I used to own one myself; 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.

So what do you do if you are not planning keep it? Is there really a way to clean it? As a decorative mirror junkie I know a few tricks on how you can do this effectively. You can use these suggestions for a variety of mirrors including large, oversized, compact, framed, unframed or even antique tri-fold full-length mirror.

The most obvious way is to clean them with water. Just warm the water or even to boil and then try to clean it. Do not add anything to the water i.e. it must be pure. I know that this can work well especially for plexy glass.

Vinegar and a newspaper can work well too. 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. Spray cleaners work well generally well for some large bathroom mirror and not for others. This is why you should not worry too much if this option does not work for you – just move on to the next option.

If you are having difficulty with having them clean by using any of my recommendations, then probably there are other reasons why it is 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.
