Top 10 Custom Mirror Care Tips
                     
Shining mirrors work well with any 
interior design scheme. Our custom-cut 
pieces are used for furniture, wall 
hangings and even kitchen backsplashes.
Keeping the surface of reflective glass 
clean takes only a few minutes. There are 
also a few key things to remember about 
caring for custom mirrors.

There are certain features 
that signify that a piece is 
made from quality materials. 
Look for copper-free options 
that are less likely to develop 
black spots. 
Thicker panes are also 
preferable for areas where the 
mirror is exposed to high use, 
such as on furniture pieces.

Occasionally things might get on 
the glass. This is especially common 
with tabletops and other areas 
where food or beverages may sit. 
If a spill or spray happens, try to 
clean it up as soon as possible. This 
prevents it from dripping down into 
the edges.

You can use a microfiber cloth to 
prevent scratches during the 
cleaning process. Soft cloths should 
also be clean and lint-free for the 
shiniest results.

Harsh cleaners can do more harm 
than good. Avoid using acidic or 
alkali cleaners. Ones made with 
ammonia can also be too harsh. 
In some cases, you can wipe up 
dust and prints without using any 
cleaner at all. A dry cloth, or one 
wet with warm water, can get up 
many types of marks.

Spraying directly onto the cloth 
instead of the mirror allows for more 
control over where cleaners go. This 
also minimizes puddles that can lead 
to moisture damage.

The edge of a mirror is particularly 
vulnerable to damage because this 
is where the backing and glass 
come together. 
Always dry carefully along the edges, 
and use extra care for customized 
edges with bevels or chips that 
generate more areas for moisture to 
build up.

Custom glass mirrors are often used 
in bathrooms and kitchens where 
moisture tends to accumulate. 
Make sure that you have ways to 
ventilate these areas. Opening a 
window or using a fan keeps the surface 
and edges dry.

Ideally, glass decorations should be 
placed higher in rooms where young 
children play. 
They should also be set away from 
doors that could hit them and cause 
a break.

Breaks are more likely to happen 
during transport. When moving 
pieces, ask for help. 
Wear gloves and seek professional 
assistance if you are moving them 
from one building to another.

Mirrors should be unwrapped 
and installed as soon as 
possible to further prevent 
damage from moisture.
