How to clean your mirror. - The correct way to look after your mirror.

1. To avoid scratching your mirror, it is best to either use a feather duster over the glass and frame, or alternatively a dry clean cloth before resorting to a glass cleaning solution.
2. If you need to use a glass cleaning solution, do not spray it directly onto the glass or framework.
3. Apply the glass cleaning solution to a soft clean cloth. In most cases a standard cleaner is all that is required. 
4. When you are using a soft clean cloth with cleaning solution on it, be careful not to get any on the framework.

Note: Hard to remove marks, or even gum residue from stickers, are best removed by dabbing a soft clean cloth dipped in alcohol on the mark and wetting it, then carefully scraping the mark from the glass at an angle with a razor blade. When the mark is removed, clean the area again as you would normally with soft dry clean cloth.

It will appear to really open up your hallway.
