Care and Cleaning of Mirrors
To enjoy many years of service from
your mirrors, please follow these instructions.
-
The best and safest cleaner for a
mirror is clean, warm water used with a soft cloth. Be careful
not to allow the edges of the mirror to get or remain wet over a
period of time.
-
Do not use any acid or alkali
cleaners for mirror cleanup after installation. They can
attack both the surface and edges as well as the backing of the
mirror. And never use an abrasive cleaner on any mirror
surface.
-
Use a standard brand of glass or
mirror cleaner that does not contain ammonia or vinegar.
-
Remove surface marks or stubborn
dirt with 0000 oil-free steel wool, not solvents. These could
attack and damage the edges and backing.
-
Never spray any cleaner directly
on to a mirror. Instead, apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and
then wipe the mirror.
-
Always use soft, grit-free cloths
when cleaning a mirror to reduce chances of scratching the surface.
-
Be sure to dry all joints and
edges thoroughly to be certain no commercial cleaner comes in
contact with the edge and backing
Note: Good ventilation will keep mirrors
from "sweating" and creating condensing liquids which could be
corrosive and damaging to mirrors. |
