You can wax poetic...
you can wax philosophical...
you can be a waxing gibbous...
well, maybe.
But have you ever waxed your mirror?
I haven't used glass cleaner on this mirror for 3 months.
Yep...you read that right.
No, these pictures are NOT from 3 months ago.
The week of New Year's my husband was off work.
Not me...I had to work.
Ugh.
Anyway...I asked him to clean the bathroom.
I came home one day and discovered that the
bathroom mirror was all pasty-looking.
I said ~ What are you doing?
He said ~ I read this idea somewhere
and wanted to give it a try.
Well, he had applied CAR WAX to the mirror and
was allowing it to dry before buffing it off.
Sound crazy?
I thought so.
But now I could sing along with the Monkees...
cuz I'm a Believer.
{Okay...so I totally love the Monkees...don't judge}
{This is the wax he used...it's what we had...
he said the article just said to use a good quality wax.
He doesn't remember exactly where he read it.}
Once he buffed off the wax...
the mirror was so clean...and TOTALLY streak free!
He also applied it to the sink basins and counter top.
He wanted to test the results there also.
The sink was much easier to clean a few times...
but since it gets a lot more water usage, the wax eventually wears off.
The counter was the same way in the high use spots.
But it looked awesomely shiny for a while.
{to see how I painted this counter top and framed the mirror click here}
Now, to clean the mirror, I usually just rub it with a clean cloth.
If I need a little extra umph...I'll dampen the cloth slightly
then wipe it with a dry section.
It's really easy to keep it clean and streak free...
and that's saying a lot since although he is a rock star
when it comes to cleaning the mirror...
He's also VERY good at splashing water all over it.
J
How about you~
have you ever heard about doing this to your mirrors?
Are you gonna give it a try?
I think with results like this, we're gonna
try it out on the inside of the glass shower door.
Couldn't hurt, right?
Have a fantastic weekend!
