How to defog a mirror in 30 seconds

Article about ▸

written by Marek Foss

What I hate the most is when I want to shave and the mirror is fogged. Waving a razor around my face without seeing what I am exactly doing is not safe, nor comfortable. And opening the bathroom doors and waiting for the air to filter is both long and cold. But I came up with one trick, which you probably already know, but if not — read on.

So the idea is to use a hair dryer. Plug it in, turn full on and blow into the mirror. After the initial 5 seconds of no reaction, the mirror will defog instantly.

The point is to heat the glass, so that the fog evaporates. Hence, if you’re tough enough, you could use a lighter and some spray (not recommended). But the hair dryer is the way to go. Look forward to more life-hacking tips next week.
