Do you struggle with fingerprints or watermarks making your mirrors look dirty? Do you fall victim to streaks when trying to prevent these marks?
We’ve put together this useful guide to help you learn the best way to clean a mirror.White Vinegar vs. Mirror Cleaner
The first step when cleaning a mirror is to decide which cleaning solution to use. There are lots of options you can find online. We recommend either a homemade solution made of one-part white vinegar to four-parts water, or a shop-bought glass and mirror cleaner.
Each option comes with pros and cons. If you opt for a homemade solution, you’ll know it won’t have added ingredients that could cause streaks, and it’s 100% natural. On the other hand, a shop-bought cleaning solution may leave your mirror pleasantly fragranced.Spot Cleaning

Choosing colours for your home’s interior is an enjoyable yet challenging task to get right. Not only do you have to work with the layout of your premises, you also need to consider factors like the amount of light, your existing furniture, and the style you want to achieve. Get the colours right and you can add value to your home.
The 60-30-10 decorating rule can help you match colours, textures, and accents. Fill 60% of your room with a main colour and 30% with a secondary colour. The remaining 10% should be accents, such as mirrors or wall photographs. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, but it’s a great starting point nonetheless.
It’s worth noting that not all rooms in your home need to be the same colour. You can mix things up to add more personality. It is also best to stay clear of anything that is on trend. Avoid the ‘flavour of the month’. Instead, look to create something that is timeless, or at least will not feel dated in a couple of years.
