Why Use Vinegar to Clean Side Mirrors?
Vinegar is a great cleaner because it’s cheap, effective, and natural.
Vinegar is an acid that can dissolve dirt and grime. It’s also antiseptic (which means it kills bacteria), disinfectant (which means it kills germs), and deodorizer.
Vinegar can be used to clean mirrors without scratching them or damaging the glass surface. The acetic acid in vinegar acts as a mild abrasive to loosen dirt from your car’s side mirrors so you don’t need to scrub as hard!
Benefits of Having Clean Side Mirrors
The benefits of having clean side mirrors are many. It’s common knowledge that being able to see the road is an important part of safe driving.
If you have foggy or hazy side mirrors, it makes it difficult to spot cars, pedestrians, debris, and other obstacles behind you while driving.
Clean side mirrors help us see our blind spots better while driving.
How Often Should You Clean Your Side Mirrors?
The frequency of your side mirror cleaning will depend on a number of factors, including where you live, the weather, and how often you drive. To most people, cleaning once a week is enough.
If you live in a place where it’s dusty or rains all the time, it’s likely that the mirrors will need to be cleaned more often. You should always check the condition of your side mirrors before driving.
