Bathroom mirror selection skills

Look at the style:

Choose the matching style of the mirror according to the style of the bathroom, which should be consistent with the overall bathroom style. For example, some oval mirrors are more suitable for European styles, while square mirrors are more suitable for Chinese styles, etc.

View anti-fog function:

After bathing in the bathroom, a lot of fog will appear, causing the mirror surface to become blurred. Customized anti-fog films are generally used on the market, which are translucent polyester films that can generate heat after power-on. Apply it to the back of the bath mirror before use, and try to be as flat as possible for easy use.

Look at the appearance:

The mirror should be viewed from multiple angles from the front, side and reverse. Generally, when looking at the mirror, we only pay attention to the direct image in the mirror, and do not pay special attention to the linear objects far away in the mirror. We can move the lower line of sight slightly. If the linear object is not bent and deformed, this is a good quality mirror.

Look at storage function:

The bathroom generally has a relatively small space. While considering the beauty, other subsidy functions should also be considered. Mirrors with a little storage function can make up for the insufficient bathroom space, and small mirrors can make use of them.

Waterproof and rust-proof function:

If ordinary mirrors are placed in a relatively humid place for a long time, they will become dull, and even rust, fall off and other phenomena. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the waterproof and rust-proof function of the mirror. You can usually see whether the portrait in the mirror is floating up and down or left and right to see if the object is bent and deformed, and you will know whether it is good or bad.

Cleaning of bathroom mirror

If it is a normal mirror, wipe it with water (or with alcohol), and then use a soft napkin to wipe off the white substance (formed by minerals in the water left on the mirror).

But if it is a general anti-fog mirror (without waterproof function), you must be careful and you cannot wipe it with water. Be careful when wiping the coated anti-fog mirror, do not use too much force, and carefully wipe off the anti-fog coating; if it is a heating anti-fog mirror without safety measures, you can wipe it carefully while ensuring that water does not enter the back of the live equipment.

The last case, if the high-end electronic anti-fog mirror is equipped with a waterproof strip and an insulating device on the back, you can wipe it with confidence! Generally, after wiping, you can use it normally after turning on the anti-fog device for 30 seconds!

Maintenance of bathroom mirrors

In the bathroom filled with water, the mirror is inevitably contaminated with moisture, and it will deteriorate over time and black spots will appear. Mirrors are afraid of moisture because mirror glass is usually cut before use. Water vapor can easily enter the mirror from the side cut by a glass knife, corroding the mirror and producing mold spots and rust spots. Therefore, Yinjing Sanitary Ware experts suggest: After buying the mirror, you may apply a layer of paint on the side of the mirror and a layer on the back.

Pay attention to during daily maintenance:

1. The mirror should be wiped with a soft dry cloth or cotton to prevent the mirror from being wiped; or use a soft cloth or a sand cloth, dipped in some kerosene or wax; you can also use a rag dipped in milk to wipe the mirror and frame to make it clear and bright. In addition, wipe it with oil-absorbing paper, which is also effective.

2. Do not touch the mirror with wet hands, and do not wipe the mirror with a wet cloth to avoid increasing moisture inflow and causing the light layer on the mirror to deteriorate and turn black.

3. The mirror cannot contact salt, grease and acidic substances, which are prone to corrode the mirror surface.

4. Usually, the mirror should be placed in a dry place, not hanging it on the wall casually, nor close to the washbasin.

5. Dip a dry rag and apply it to the mirror with an appropriate amount of detergent. Spread it evenly. The active ingredients contained in the cleaning spirit can effectively prevent water vapor from condensing on the mirror surface and can play a good anti-fog effect.

6. Before taking a bath, you can apply soap on the mirror surface and wipe it with a dry cloth. A layer of soap film will be formed on the mirror surface to prevent the mirror surface from blurring. You can also use astringent lotion or dishwashing liquid.

7. The frame should be wiped with soft cotton cloth or cotton or worsted wire to prevent the frame from rusting.
