How to Defog a Bathroom Mirror
Tired of the bathroom mirror fogging up while the shower is in use? Misty mirrors can be a real pain when it comes to getting ready for work or school in the morning. Simply wiping them with a towel rarely works. However, a quick blast of the hair dryer clears steam instantly, and a mixture of liquid dish soap and water keeps that fog from returning. Does this Spark an idea?
Things You'll Need
- Hair dryer
- Clean, empty spray bottle
- 2 tbsp. liquid dish soap
- 3 cups water
- Soft, clean rag

Blow dryer works wonders and is so much better than spraying stuff on your mirror. -

Thanks for the tips. I always hate how my mirror gets fogged and wiping it off with paper towels just smears the moisture.
