Mirrored Wardrobe Doors and Vanity Mirrors
A number of “Do’s” and “Don’ts” should be observed when cleaning mirrored wardrobe doors – or any
other mirrors.
Do use one of these three types of recommended mirror cleaners:
· A weak (5-10%) solution of methyl, ethyl, or rubbing alcohol in water. Windex, Solox, or other
household glass cleaners are of this type.
· Weak household ammonia water solutions – provided they do not contain alkali, which many
do.
· Weak (5%) household vinegar solutions – if the odor is not objectionable.
Do use a clean, soft rag or paper towel to clean mirrors.
Do protect the mirror by applying cleaner to the cloth, rather than the mirror. Wipe the edges clean
and dry off any excess solution.
Don’t use heavy- duty harsh commercial cleaning solutions on mirrors. Most of them contain the
three A’s, abrasive, alkali, and acids, which are harmful to mirrors.
Don’t use dirty or gritty rags, knives, scrapers, emery cloth or other abrasive materials for cleaning.
Don’t abuse the critical edges. Most mirror failures are at the edges – where excess solutions attack
the backing at its most vulnerable point.
Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass patio doors should receive the same care given to aluminum windows. Be sure that
there are no foreign objects in the track to impede operation. The rollers will deteriorate if the tracks
are not kept clean and clear. Paraffin is a good lubricant for these tracks. Most patio doors have
screws on the bottom frame corners for adjusting door travel.
Framed Mirrors
The frame portion of these types of mirrors should be cleaned with furniture polish and dried
immediately if water is splashed on to the surface.
