What is Desilvering

  • Desilvering occurs when the silver backing on a mirror lifts and starts becoming worn.

  • Dark spots or streaks around the edges of a mirror are a sign of desilvering.

How to Prevent Desilvering

💡Moisture is the main cause of mirror desilvering.

  • Wipe down steam and water droplets from the mirror immediately.

  • Do not spray the cleaner directly onto the mirror. Spray a towel with the cleaner, and then wipe down the mirror.

  • Vinegar-based cleaners and cleaners containing ammonia can accelerate the desilvering process. Avoid using these cleaners on your mirror.
