Brilio.net - The bathroom mirror is one element that not only has an important function, but also adds to the aesthetics of the room. Unfortunately, the bathroom conditions that are always humid and the high intensity of water splashes make the mirror easy to get dirty. If left for a long time, water spots that stick to the mirror can crust and make the mirror dull and unattractive.
The problem of water spots on the mirror often cannot be solved by simply rinsing or wiping. Bathroom water, which often contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, can leave hard water stains that are difficult to remove. Even if cleaned frequently, without the right method, these spots will continue to build up and reduce the clarity and shine of the mirror.
To overcome water spots that stick and crust on the bathroom mirror, you can imitate the trick shared by Instagram user @casanaf_. Through one of the videos uploaded, the netizen admitted to only using two kitchen ingredients to make the mirror clear again. Reported by BrilioFood on Monday (10/21), the kitchen ingredients in question are dishwashing soap and baking soda.

How to use it, you can directly mix baking soda and dish soap with a 1:1 ratio. After that, pour a little water and stir until the texture is thick. When it is thick, this liquid is ready to be applied to a cloudy and dirty mirror.

Use a dishwashing sponge to apply the baking soda and dishwashing soap. While applying, rub a little so that the water spots are lifted. Once applied evenly, let it sit for 1-2 minutes. This process will make the water spots soft and easier to clean later.

Once it has been left, immediately wipe the mirror using a wet cloth. Wipe in one direction only so that no stains stick back. Now, after wiping, let the mirror dry by itself. That way, the appearance of the mirror in the bathroom is clean and clear again without any stains or cleaner left behind.

It is important to note that baking soda is a gentle abrasive that can scrape and lift stains and mineral deposits from the mirror's surface without scratching it. Meanwhile, dish soap contains surfactants that help dissolve dirt and oils that stick to the mirror. When these two ingredients are mixed and applied to the mirror, they work together to loosen and lift water spots, leaving the mirror clean and shiny again.
