This is an oldie, but a goodie.
If you take hot showers like most people, you probably have a problem of facing a fogged up mirror in the bathroom sometimes.
Mirror fog is easily remedied by any number of things you have lying around the bathroom.
– soap (liquid or bar soap, it doesn’t matter)
– shampoo or conditioner
– shaving cream
– toothpaste
I personally prefer using plain old soap because its very easy to wipe off.
How to do it: Just dab a little bit of soap (or whatever you choose to use – see above) on your hand and wipe this over the foggy mirror, or just the area you want to clear. Wipe the excess soap and suds with your fingers in a few smooth motions, and voila, No More Fog!
The fog-free status will last about a week or so, after which you’ll have to repeat the process.
*** You can use spit too, but that’s just… a bit gross. Divers use their own spit to clear the fog from their goggles before going underwater. But in the bathroom mirror, I really doubt anyone would want to spit at their own reflection, no?
I’ve done what you suggest, it is the mirror that will really clean.
Or for a temporary “de-fog” run a hairdryer over the mirror! 🙂
