How to Defog Bathroom Mirrors

So simple, so easy! When you step out of the shower into a fog of steam, here's what to do.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Blow Dryers

1. Point a hair dryer at the mirror and turn it on at its hottest setting. Hold the hair dryer about 6 inches from the mirror.

2. Wave the hair dryer over the mirror until it is completely defogged.

3. If you do not have a hair dryer, open the bathroom door and wait a few seconds.

Tips & Warnings

• Keeping a window open a crack and a fan running while you shower decreases the chances of the mirror fogging up.
• Dry yourself off before using the hair dryer. Do not use electrical equipment in the tub.

on 7/28/2009 surprisingly, shaving cream works VERY well and works for about 1 week or 2. you have to rub very hard with a dry cloth, i used paper towel and have arthritis in my hand joints, but it is well worth it. also, don't use too much and i wouldn't recommend using shaving gel.

on 12/22/2008 Actually, fog happens when two temperatures collide. If your bathroom is cold or you open the window and let cold air in, you'll have a steamy, foggy bathroom. But if you warm the bathroom up, you may have humidity from the shower but it will dissipate much faster. Leave the window shut in the winter!
