Although it seems like a simple task, many aren’t aware of the proper methods for caring and cleaning glass mirrors around their home or office.  I’m sure you’ve seen or heard of the many cleaning products out there, but the truth is, care and cleaning mirrors are actually quite simple.  Refer to the tips below for quality care and cleaning of mirrors from Bell Mirror & Glass.

• The best way to clean glass is to use clean, warm water with a soft, lint free cloth.  If you are using a commercial cleaner, make sure the product doesn’t contain ammonia or vinegar. 
• Avoid using acid or alkali cleaners for cleaning mirrors.  These types of products can ruin the front surface, edges and backing of the mirror after installation. 
• Never use abrasive cleaners on any glass mirrors. 
• Whenever caring for your glass, try and avoid getting the edges or backing of the mirror wet.  If they do get wet, try and dry them off as soon as possible.
• If your trying to remove surface marks or stubborn dirt, it’s best to use 0000 oil-free steel wool.  Avoid using solvents because they can ruin the edges and backing of the mirror.
• If using commercial cleaning products, never spray directly onto the face of a mirror.  It’s best to apply the cleaner to a soft, lint free cloth then wipe mirror.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Decorating with Mirrors!

Mirrors have a variety of uses while decorating your home.  For example they can be used to reflect light, open up space and generally enhance the decor.  However Venessa Deleon, professional interior designer, offers some guidelines you should follow when hanging mirrors around your house.  

DO use large mirror in smaller rooms

Don’t be afraid to go big in a small room.  A large mirror in a small room can create the illusion of depth.  Installing a mirror in a narrow hallway or staircase can act to widen the space and create better flow from room to room. 

DON’T use mirror on ceilings

Finally her final warning is to avoid mirrors on the ceiling; it is a very cheap and tacky look.  

DO make mirror a focal point

Mirrors don’t always have to be installed or screwed into a wall; Deleon suggests using large upright mirrors that are usually rested against a wall.

 

DON’T go overboard with mirrors in the kitchen

Deleon warns you not to use mirrors in a kitchen.  They are not necessary and they can pose problems such as watermarks and need constant maintenance.  

DO obey the rules of feng shui

She also suggests living by the rules of feng shui, which frown upon mirrors in the bedroom, but suggest a more balanced place like above a fireplace. 

 

DON’T place mirrors randomly around the house

Mirrors are great to have around the house but you must make sure they are placed strategically to reflect something that is worth looking at.  You don’t want those reflecting random things in your home.
