The neighbor’s secret remedy for fogging the bathroom mirror

I want to share one recipe from fogging mirrors, which a month ago my neighbor and long-time friend told me part-time. We often go to visit each other. I once had to spend the night with her and, accordingly, take a bath. Imagine my surprise when, after the whole procedure, I was able to clearly examine myself in the mirror. Reflection is not a bit cloudy!

A little background

My neighbor is a respected person, currently retired. What she just did not work in her youth. At one time, she lived in a very rich Italian family as a housewife. At first she had a hard time. And the point is not even in the huge area that had to be cleaned from morning to evening, but in the high demands of the hostess. One of the whims of the Italians were the purest mirrors in the bathroom, which did not fog up under any conditions. A lot of tools were tested - and the old, still military, method with soap, and vinegar, and gelatin. As a result, I found the perfect recipe, which I now use.

Secret remedy

It is known that fogging causes condensation - the vapor deposited on the surfaces. And if on the tile it does not bother anyone, then on the mirror it is very difficult to see. Frankly, I myself tried to deal with steam in the bathroom in various ways. One of the most unsuccessful solutions was glycerin. As expected, I rubbed them with a mirror surface and filled a hot bath. Yes, the mirror is fogged up much less. But a day later, dust was stuck on him, and he had to be washed thoroughly.

A neighbor offered me a completely different recipe. It was ... a man’s shaving gel! It turns out that if you rub it into a mirror, a thin film is formed on it, which prevents the vapor from settling. However, it does not attract dirt and continues to work a little more than a week. After 7-10 days, the mirror needs to be washed and rubbed with gel again. How do i do this:

1. The first step is to wash the mirror. I prefer to use ammonia in half with water. I pour this product into a bottle with a spray bottle and abundantly irrigate the surface. Then I wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth.



2. Now you can shave the mirror. A neighbor advised using the gel. Frankly, I tried both foam and cream. Indeed, the gel product works better. I squeeze it onto a paper towel, quite a bit - 2-3 drops, and rub it quickly into the surface of the mirror.
3. Done! Now you can turn on the hot water, close the doors to the bathroom and make sure that the tool works.

By the way, after the discovery of the miracle cure, I decided to delve into the topic. It turns out that many modern glass washing products contain special additives that prevent fogging in the bathroom mirror. For example, Astonish Window & Glass cleaner. But, in my opinion, the effect after them lasts not so long as from the shaving gel.

What else can be done to make the mirrors fog up less?

Flipping through a lot of articles, I noticed for myself many interesting ways to reduce the fogging of mirrors in the bathroom. For example:

• Clean the hood in the bathroom regularly. The better the ventilation, the less vapor settles on the mirrors.
• Install a special fan in the hood. With it, the microclimate in the bathroom will become as comfortable as possible - it eliminates condensation, unpleasant odors, and dampness.
• Use a shower cabin. If you take a shower or bath with the doors closed, steam will remain inside the cabin.
• Dishwashing liquid and shampoo also help a lot from fogging the mirrors.

There are probably a lot of people who like to take a bath, like me, hotter. Only here is bad luck, then it is impossible to consider yourself in the mirror. Neither comb normally, apply a mask, or brush your teeth. Yes, and condensate droplets, now and then settling and drying out, lead to the appearance of stains and rapid contamination of the surface. Fortunately, the problem with fogging the mirror in the bathroom is solved. Try to apply shaving gel on it - and you will be pleasantly surprised by the result!
