If a wall in a room has a dark accent, the room can feel small, even cold. Hang a mirror on the wall to reflect light from the brighter part of the room. See how that dark feeling goes away.

To keep your frameless glass shower door looking like new and free of potentially damaging water spots, it’s recommended that you use a rubber squeegee to clean it after each use. In addition, a non-ammonia glass cleaner can be used as needed.

To lessen the chances of mold and bacterial growth in your shower, the walls and doors can be coated with an anti-microbial gel (a product similar to gel coating for fiberglass boats). This is a particularly attractive feature for households with someone who suffers from allergies or respiratory problems.

Does your favorite mirror have black spots on it? That generally means water or some other liquid has eroded the backing of the mirror. You can prevent this by avoiding moisture from seeping behind it, or using cleaners on rags rather than directly spraying.

The first modern shower was used in 1860 by the French Army. Communal showers were considered a more economical and hygienic way for the men to stay clean than baths. Communal showers were soon adopted by other armies and eventually by boarding schools in Europe.
