In this post I will make an attempt to solve a problem that bothers thousands of home owners around the world, that is, the issue of cloudy mirrors.

Let us say you own a full length mirror as part of your closet and it is now old and looks very cloudy then you are not alone. I used to own one myself; the family next door has been there too. I tried everything I could to clean it until I got rid of it only to discover the best cleaning methods months after I had gotten rid of it.

Now if you are planning to keep the mirror how do you find a way to deal with its problem? What is the best way to clean it? As a oversized decorative mirrors expert I know a few tricks on how you can do this effectively. These suggestions can apply to all kinds including large, oversized, compact, framed, unframed including vintage full length mirror.

One of the easiest ways is to clean it with water. Warm or hot water would do the job just fine. Do not add anything to the water i.e. it must be pure. I know that this can work well especially for plexy glass.

Another option is to simply use vinegar and newspaper. This could work especially if some one once added some smeared the mirror with some oil.

You can try to use some spray cleaners like windex. Spray cleaners work well generally well for some bathroom decorative mirrors and not for others. This is why you should not worry too much if this option does not work for you – just move on to the next option.

If all these tips fail then it probably means there are other reasons why it does not respond. For one if could be that the silver on the back of the mirror is peeling off. You can simply fix this by having it re-silvered especially if you really can’t get rid of it.
