How to Stop Your

Bathroom Mirror From Fogging

Ventilate the bathroom

Bathroom ventilation fans exhaust steamy air out of the bathroom, ultimately reducing the risk of harmful mold and mildew buildup. If you have a fan in your bathroom you should use it every time you take a shower or bath.

Shaving cream

This urban legend says that if you take a small amount of shaving cream and rub it all over your mirror it will prevent it from steaming up. I tried this method several times and with different types of shaving cream.

Soap

Another method that supposedly stops steam on your mirrors is using a bar of soap. You rub it on the glass and buff it off just like the shaving cream. This method didn’t work for me either.

Anti Fog Spray

Heated bathroom mirror

If applying anti-fog spray to your mirror once a month isn’t your thing then you might want to try a heated mirror. These mirrors are on the pricey side but you will not have any steam blocking your view.

Heated bathroom mirror

Mirror-finish infrared heating panels are a great option for the bathroom. They look great, sit almost flat against the wall and emit powerful warmth soon after being switched on. They do not fog up when exposed to steam, so they are perfect for bathrooms.

Use a hairdryer

If a heated mirror is too rich for your blood a fast way to defog a bathroom mirror is to blast it with warm air from a hair dryer. Simply turn on the dryer and point it at the mirror. The heat will cause the condensation to evaporate quickly.
