Fitted Wardrobe Mirrors: How to Keep Them Clean

If you're a fan of fitted wardrobes, you'll know that they can be a fantastic addition to any bedroom. They offer a sleek and stylish storage solution while also maximising space. However, if your fitted wardrobe comes with mirrors, keeping them clean and clear can be a challenge.

With daily use, mirrors can quickly accumulate dirt, fingerprints, and smudges, making them look dull and unappealing. In this article, we'll share some handy tips and tricks to help you maintain your fitted wardrobe mirrors and keep them sparkling clean.

The benefits of having fitted wardrobe mirrors in your bedroom

A fitted wardrobe mirror combines the benefits of a utility-driven wardrobe and a full-length mirror for your convenience. Here are some reasons why you should consider adding a fitted wardrobe mirror to your bedroom:

  • Saves space - Fitted wardrobe mirrors like the Venezia With Mirror Sliding Door Wardrobe by Bamax are a great space-saving solution as they eliminate the need for a separate mirror or dressing table.
  • Enhances lighting - Mirrors reflect light, making your bedroom feel brighter and more spacious. You won't have to squint in dim lighting to see yourself.
  • Makes dressing easier - With a full-length mirror in your wardrobe like the Logo Wardrobe Design # 7, you can quickly assess your outfit without leaving the room. No more running back and forth to the bathroom!
  • Improves organisation - A fitted wardrobe mirror can help you stay organised by allowing you to see all your clothes and accessories in one place. You'll have a better view of your outfits, making it easier to choose what to wear.
  • Adds style - Fitted wardrobe mirrors come in many designs and finishes, so you can choose one that complements your bedroom décor.

Overall, a fitted wardrobe mirror is a wise investment that will simplify your daily routine, improve your bedroom's aesthetics, and save you space. So, what are you waiting for? Get one installed today and enjoy the benefits for yourself.

Common problems faced and how to avoid them

Fitted wardrobe mirrors can reflect light, giving the appearance of a larger space. However, a few common problems arise when it comes to fitted wardrobe mirrors. Here are some tips on how to avoid them:

Cracks and scratches

Fitted wardrobe mirrors are prone to damage, especially when bumped or knocked. Handle the mirrors with care and keep heavy objects off of them to avoid this issue.

Fogging

If your bedroom is particularly humid or you like to take hot showers, you may find that your fitted wardrobe mirrors fog up. To prevent this, try leaving the wardrobe doors open for a while after a shower or use a demisting spray.

Warped reflections

Sometimes, the positioning of the mirrors can cause distorted or warped reflections. Make sure the mirrors are level and firmly installed to prevent this.

Cleaning problems

Fitted wardrobe mirrors can be tricky to clean, especially if they are large or in an awkward position. Use a microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner, and avoid harsh chemicals.

By following these tips, you can keep your fitted wardrobe mirrors looking great and avoid any common problems that may arise.

Tips for cleaning and maintaining your fitted wardrobe mirrors

Keeping your fitted wardrobe mirrors clean and well-maintained is essential to ensure they look great and serve their purpose.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the mirror surface to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive materials like paper towels or rough sponges that can scratch the mirror.

For stubborn stains, use a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar to gently clean the surface. Apply the solution to the cloth, not the mirror, to avoid moisture seeping into the edges and causing damage.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or glass cleaners that contain ammonia, as these can cause damage to the mirror's silver backing. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or force when cleaning the mirror, as this can cause the surface to warp or distort over time.

Check the edges regularly for any signs of damage or peeling, and address any issues immediately to prevent further damage. Consider using a protective film on the mirror's surface to prevent scratches and damage from everyday wear and tear.

These recommendations will help you keep your fitted wardrobe mirrors clear and spotless so they give you the best possible reflection. Say goodbye to dirty mirrors and hello to a sparkling clean reflection!

Safety precautions to take when cleaning fitted wardrobe mirrors

When cleaning fitted wardrobe mirrors, it's crucial to prioritise safety alongside achieving that sparkling finish. First and foremost, ensure you have a sturdy step ladder that's in good condition to access the high parts of the mirror.

Wear non-slip shoes and use caution when climbing. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the mirror's surface or emit harmful fumes. Instead, use a mixture of warm water and gentle soap or a specially formulated glass cleaner.

Be sure to use a soft, lint-free cloth or a squeegee to avoid scratching the surface. These simple safety precautions can help ensure that your cleaning efforts are successful.

Conclusion

In conclusion, keeping your fitted wardrobe mirrors clean and clear is crucial to maintaining their functionality and appearance. You can keep your mirrors in excellent condition for years by following the aforementioned tips.

From using the right cleaning products and tools to avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive materials, there are plenty of ways to keep your mirrors looking their best. Take the time to clean and care for your fitted wardrobe mirrors and enjoy the many benefits they bring to your space.
