How nice is it to always have bright and super clean mirrors in which we can reflect our image without seeing halos and spots? Very very much!
It’s a shame, however, that they get stained easily, especially when it comes to bathroom mirrors where condensation accumulates.
For this reason, today we will see together how to clean mirrors using just a natural remedy!
What will you discover?
How do you
The remedy we want to tell you about is talcum powder , the white powder usually used to soothe children’s skin . In fact, this product has a strong absorption and cleaning effect , making it effective for removing stains and halos on mirrors. So equip yourself with:
- 2 tablespoons of talcum powder
- 700 ml warm water
First, pour the water into a measuring cup, then add the talcum powder and mix until completely dissolved. Now pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle, shake it vigorously to mix the ingredients again and spray the mixture on the mirrors.
Then leave everything on for 5 minutes before gently rubbing with a microfiber cloth, making circular movements , especially in the areas where the spots and halos are most concentrated. Finally, all you have to do is dry it thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth and your mirrors will shine!
For heavily soiled mirrors, you can also combine talcum powder with vinegar by adding 2 tablespoons of talcum powder to a jug with 350 ml of water and 350 ml of white vinegar. In fact, vinegar is considered a natural polishing agent that can also make kitchen steel shine!
Speaking of which, here’s a video where you can see how to do it step by step!
More tricks to make mirrors shine
In addition to the remedies we have seen so far, there are other remedies that can make your mirrors shine. Let’s see them together!
Marseille soap
Let’s start with an ingredient you’re probably familiar with: Marseille soap . In fact, it has very fine cleaning and degreasing properties. Not surprisingly, it is the base ingredient for making DIY stain remover!
All you have to do is put a few flakes of Marseille soap in a basin filled with water and then dip a soft microfiber cloth into it. Now make several circular movements over the surface of the mirror and dry it carefully with a dry cloth: your mirrors will be cleaner than ever !
Yellow soap
Like Marseille soap, yellow soap is a product with strong stain-removing properties, able to remove dirt accumulated on mirrors and give them shine. We remind you that polishing the hob into a mirror is also a godsend!
Therefore, in 1 liter of warm water, pour 1 tablespoon of these soap flakes , then dip a soft sponge in the mixture thus obtained and wipe it over the mirror. At this point all you have to do is rinse with a cloth soaked in water and dry gently with a dry cloth.
Cornstarch
Finally, let’s look at one last trick that involves using cornstarch, which has strong absorbent properties. Not surprisingly, it ‘s also a godsend when it comes to absorbing stains on fabrics.
To use it on mirrors, you must therefore add a glass of vinegar and two tablespoons of cornstarch to 1 liter of water, mix everything well to facilitate the dissolution of the starch and pour the mixture thus obtained into a spray bottle.
Then spray on the mirrors , wipe with a sponge and rinse with a damp cloth. Finally, dry thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth and your mirrors will shine! This remedy is particularly indicated for mirrors with caked on shower gel, toothpaste or make-up stains.
