Mirrors are an essential part of every domestic environment. Moreover, if you are a woman mirrors should be an essential part of your everyday life. And you probably know that sometimes it happens to not like the reflection you see and this is not be because you do not look good, but because your mirror is dirty.

Cleaning mirrors is not a hard thing to do. Actually it is pretty easy to keep them shiny. However, I do not know why but many people forget to maintain their mirrors. Therefore, our brilliant cleaners London want to give you a few easy steps how to keep your mirrors clean and shiny.

1. If you have just bought a new mirror and you want to clean it before hanging it on the wall, then you should begin the process by removing all the labels and protective stickers from the surface. For the purpose, use a perfume, nail polish remover, white vinegar or alcohol.

2. To preserve the shine of your mirrors you should dust them regularly. To remove the gathered dust use paper towels.

3. Wash mirror surfaces with a solution of warm water and dish-washing liquid then dry with paper towels or newspapers. Using newspapers you will not leave any water marks on the mirror.

4. If your mirror is still sticky then clean it using an old toothbrush and a small amount of shaving cream.

5. Sprinkle the mirror with talcum powder to identify scratches on the surface. Do not apply too much pressure to the affected areas. To cover the scratches and make them less visible use some sort of glue. Then wipe immediately with clean paper towels.

6. To bring the unique sparkle of your mirrors back, wipe them with a cloth dampened with white vinegar.

7. For the regular maintenance of your mirrors our cleaning London professionals recommend using a clean and soft microfibre cloth. To get rid of stubborn stains on your mirrors, use a solution of warm water and window cleaning detergent or dish-washing liquid.
