Brilio.net - A bathroom mirror that looks blurry and dull due to water scale is a common problem that is often annoying. Water scale that accumulates on the mirror surface is usually caused by water residue containing minerals such as calcium and magnesium. When the water dries, these minerals remain and form white or yellowish stains that are difficult to remove.

Not only from water, high humidity in the bathroom also accelerates the process of limescale buildup. If not cleaned immediately, these stains can be more difficult to overcome and even damage the protective layer of the mirror. As a result, the mirror looks increasingly opaque even though it has been cleaned repeatedly. This problem is often a challenge for many people, especially those who have bathrooms with less than optimal ventilation.

However, the good news is that there are some simple ways that can be done to prevent or overcome this water scale. One of them is like what Instagram user @ratnatjahyo did. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using kitchen ingredients to clean the water scale on the mirror so that it is not blurry.
