After a mirror installation in Columbia MD is complete, and a decorative mirror has been added to one of the walls in a home, basic cleaning steps will prevent the glass from becoming scratched. A lint-free cloth that has a small amount of glass cleaner applied to it can be used to eliminate smudges or substances that have hardened on the glass surface. Afterwards, another soft cloth can be used to dry the glass surface.
Any cleaning agents that contain harsh chemicals should be avoided since they could leave permanent marks on the glass or ruin the mirror’s frame. If a cleaning tool that has an abrasive surface was accidentally used on a mirror’s surface and faint scratches can be seen in some areas, a homemade scratch remover will eliminate them. Equal amounts of baking soda and water added to a measuring cup need to be stirred for a couple minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. A small amount of the mixture needs to be applied directly to each scratch.
The paste can be worked into the surface where the scratches are seen by moving a lint-free cloth in tiny circles. Once the paste has been rubbed against the scratches for a couple minutes they will begin to fade. More paste may need to be added to glass if scratches are deep. After all of the scratches have been removed, the scratch removing paste can be eliminated with a damp cloth. The glass should be sprayed with an even amount of glass cleaner and wiped off with another cloth.
