How to keep your mirrors sparkly clean

Wall mirrors around your home can potentially add to your home’s beauty, but dirty and stained mirrors simply make your home look messy. Here are some tips on how to keep your mirror looking clean and new:

Eliminate Dirt and Dust Particles before Cleaning
It might be enticing to get right to cleaning when you need to clean your mirrors, however, doing this will make it harder to get a spotless look as you will unfortunately be working against your efforts. Make sure you wipe down your mirrors with a duster or soft cloth, which will
prepare the mirrors to be cleaned correctly.

Prepare a homemade cleaner
Making your window cleaner can be a more reliable and healthy option. Just mix 2 cups of water, ¼ cup of white vinegar, and ½ teaspoon of dish detergent. Be sure to wipe down your mirror with a duster before using your cleaner.

White Vinegar for Water Stains
If your mirror has water stains that are not coming off, put white vinegar directly on the stains letting it act for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a cloth.

These are just a few tips to keep your mirrors looking squeaky clean. For information on custom mirrors in the Destin area, contact Guys, Glass, and Mirror today!

Glass Tabletops

Glass surfaces can be a great addition to any living space since they look timeless and can be easily cleaned. When it comes to choosing the correct glass tabletop you should take into account the following.

Thickness
The sturdiness of the tabletop will be determined in huge part by the thickness of the glass. It is important to know that the glass is thick enough to not shatter if it has some sort of impact. Additionally, thicker glass is less likely to be scratched. Depending on how much traffic the tabletop will see this is an important point to consider.

Transparency
Although most people look for the most transparent glass for their tabletops, it is important to compare all the options of what level of transparency works for you. It is important to consider the use you will be giving to the tabletop to select the correct one.

Safety
Do you have small children in the home or that visit often? Then it’s a good idea to consider a tempered, safety tabletop. This will provide both a great look and safety for your family.

Shower Glass Doors: How to clean stubborn Soap Scum and Mildew

Cleaning your shower doors can become rather difficult over time because of soap scum and mildew. As much as you may try at times to get rid of the streaks and spots sometimes, they just won’t budge. But here a few methods that may come in handy next time you find yourself struggling.

Soap Scum and Water Spots
Many cleaners promise to get rid of these stains but at the end do not work. The perfect cleaner for soap scum and water spots is vinegar. Use a sponge or rag to apply the vinegar throughout the whole door, keeping the vinegar wet for at least 5 minutes, continue applying so it does not dry. The vinegar makes the soap scum and water spots dissolve leaving your glass door shiny clean. Once the necessary time has passed rinse with warm water. For stubborn problems you can try boiling the vinegar and applying it, but you must be very careful when doing this.

Mildew
While soap scum is harmless, mildew is very different. It is a fungus that can cause allergies to flare up which may cause you to get sick. This black, pink or green growth shows up on your doors, especially around the edges.
Getting rid of mildew is fairly easy, all you need is hydrogen peroxide or chlorine. Spray the area and wipe, this kills the mold. To keep mold from growing, leave the shower door open after using it to allow the air to circulate.

So, we hope these few tips will help you maintain your glass doors. And if you are looking to upgrade your shower glass doors contact us at Guys, Glass and Mirror today.

Enlarge your Space with Mirrors

Mirrors can act as a great decorating tool for your home. They help enlarge rooms and add natural light to a dark room. A large custom area mirror that reflects the room back to you will give the illusion of the space looking larger. If you are looking for a way to make your ceiling look higher, we recommend using a mirror that almost reaches it.

Turning a long skinny mirror on its side will add length to a short wall, making a room appear longer. Hanging mirrors in groups is a great decorating idea that will become the focal point of any room and make it look more appealing.

So, if you have small dark rooms in your home mirrors are a great solution. Here at Guys, Glass and Mirror we are happy to help you with your mirror needs. Give us a call today to discuss your vision with us
