Prevent mirrors and glasses from going foggy

Yes, you read that right. You can easily use a bar of soap to solve the problem of having foggy mirrors after each shower.

It is not something that generally impacts us that much on a day-to-day basis, but on days when we’re running late, it can be hard to get ready in the bathroom if the mirror is all fogged up already.

The easiest way to stop glass or mirrors from fogging up is to rub a soap bar over the surface. Make sure it is clean and dry and that you do not add any water.

If needed, after you rub the soap on the mirror, use a dry cloth to smooth over any streaks that may have remained.
