MIRRORS

The ideal place to hang a mirror in the bathroom is directly above the sink or vanity. This allows you to use the mirror for daily grooming tasks such as brushing your teeth, washing your face, and applying makeup.

It is also important to consider the size and style of the mirror to ensure that it complements the overall design of your bathroom.

The size of a wash basin mirror can vary depending on personal preference and the size of the sink or vanity. As a general rule of thumb, the mirror should be at least as wide as the sink or vanity and ideally not wider than the vanity itself.

The height of the mirror should also be proportional to the height of the vanity or the wall it is mounted on. A good guideline is to ensure that the mirror is at least a few inches shorter than the height of the wall, allowing for ample space between the mirror and the ceiling.

A wide range of materials can be used in mirror frames, including wood, metal, and even natural materials like bone and mother of pearl. The choice of material often depends on the desired style and function of the mirror.

Here are some tips to clean mirror effectively:

First, gather your cleaning supplies. You’ll need a microfiber cloth or a soft lint-free cloth, a spray bottle filled with equal parts water and white vinegar or a commercial glass cleaner, and a squeegee (optional).

• Spray the cleaning solution onto the mirror or onto the cloth.
• Avoid spraying too much solution as it can cause streaks.
• Wipe the mirror with the cloth in a circular motion or from top to bottom.
• Use a squeegee to remove any excess cleaning solution or water, starting from the top and working your way down.
• If there are any stubborn spots or streaks, use a clean cloth or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to gently rub the area.

For the finishing touch, use a dry cloth to buff the mirror to a shine.
