- Apply Shaving Cream or Soap Film4
Description
A thin layer of surfactant from soap or shaving cream prevents water droplets from beading up and creating fog.
Recipe/Instructions
- Apply a small amount of regular shaving cream (foam or gel) or a bar of soap (rubbed onto a damp cloth) onto the entire surface of the clean, dry mirror.
- Spread it evenly to cover the glass.
- Take a clean, dry, soft cloth (microfiber works well) and buff the mirror thoroughly until it is clear and streak-free.
- The invisible film left behind will prevent fogging for several days to weeks.
- Reapply as needed.
