TIL: Making a Mirror Look Like New Again (with Vaporized Dihydrogen Monoxide)

So I bought a garment steamer to get rid of the cowlicks of the garment world, which are the wrinkles. With heat I can reshape them.

Why steamer instead of an iron?

Well, for me an iron is mostly used for sports, for dealing with my clothes it's an overkill. Plus a steam generating machine is much more fun right? I can even defrost foods faster with the machine.

Due to space limitation, I hang my pants on the mirror to test the steamer. It took some time but it worked, most wrinkles, except a few tough ones, were gone.

I saw the steam turned into liquid again on the mirror and though, why not steam the whole mirror? So that was what I did. After wiping it and waiting for a few hours, it looked like new again!

I think it's because the heat make the stains and dirt on the mirror more prone to be wiped with tissues.
