How to Clean and Maintain a Henley Octagonal Wall Mirror

Quick answer

Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and a gentle glass cleaner, and dust the bronze frame with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads to protect the galvanised steel finish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use glass cleaner on the mirror?

Yes, spray a small amount onto a lint-free cloth, not directly on the mirror, to avoid moisture seeping behind the frame. Wipe gently in circular motions. Always apply cleaner to the cloth first.

How do I clean the bronze frame without damaging it?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to dust regularly. For smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water and mild dish soap, then wipe and dry immediately. Never use abrasive sponges, steel wool, or ammonia-based cleaners. Mild soap and water are safe; abrasives are not.

How often should I clean the mirror?

Dust the frame and glass every two weeks to prevent buildup. A deeper clean with a damp cloth can be done monthly or as needed.

Can I use vinegar or alcohol to clean the mirror?

Avoid vinegar, alcohol, and any acidic or solvent-based cleaners. They can strip the bronze finish or leave streaks on the glass. Stick to a gentle glass cleaner or plain water with a drop of dish soap. Stick to neutral, non-abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if the frame gets scratched?

Light surface scratches may be minimised with a furniture touch-up pen matched to a bronze tone. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Deep scratches cannot be repaired at home. Touch-up pens can help, but test first.
