Foggy Bathroom Mirrors

Scenario: You're in a hotel bathroom enjoying a nice, hot relaxing shower...that is after you've played with the pulsating shower head and finally realized that it wasn't going to work except on that one setting, and after multiple attempts to get the shower curtain to stay all the way closed, you finally decided that it wasn't worth your time to even report it to the front desk.

Elated that, unlike your shower at home, you can run that piping hot water over your weary body for a long time without running out of hot water, you soak in the steamy, self-made sauna.

Suddenly, reality hits as you recall that you had reluctantly made a breakfast appointment with one of those pesky vendors. So, you grab one of those starchy white towels and step in front of the mirror.

The moment your feet hit the cold tile floor it occurs to you that maybe the hotel staff didn't clean that floor too well so you toss down another towel to stand on thereby ensuring that those feet of yours stay clean and don't cool down too fast.

Looking up, you are confronted with the reality that the mirror has been rendered useless and is covered in a thick steamy fog. What to do, what to do?

My friend, I have the answer for you. It is not a new fancy invention, but rather a method for fixing the problem. Here it is:

  1. Open the bathroom door
  2. Take a hand towel and roll it up so the roll is about 12 inches wide
  3. Hold the rolled towel with two hands (one hand near either end)
  4. Lean over the sink and place the towel on the mirror as high as you can reach
  5. Press down on the towel and SLOWLY move the towel down the surface of the mirror (SLOWLY means that it should take 10 - 15 seconds to reach the bottom of the mirror)

By following the steps above, you will have a clear, fog-free mirror that will serve you well as you make adjustments to your appearance.

After you have tried my method, I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment on its effectiveness. Enjoy!
