Are double-pane windows worth it?

• <div><p>Double-pane windows increase your home’s energy efficiency, leading to lower energy bills and more comfortable temperatures inside. They also dramatically reduce noise from outside compared to single-pane windows, so you’ll notice your home is significantly quieter once you’ve installed double-pane windows. If you’re replacing your windows, the initial investment in double-pane styles can be well worth the up-front cost.</p></div>

Can rubbing alcohol remove scratches from glass?

• <div><p>Rubbing alcohol on its own will not remove scratches from glass. You can, however, combine rubbing alcohol with baking soda—in a one-to-one mixed ratio—to create a paste that will help get minor scratches out of glass.</p></div>

Q: Why does old glass ripple?

• <div><p>Prior to the middle part of the 1900s, glass manufacturers used a technique that involved blowing glass into cylinder shapes that were then flattened out to create sheets used for windows and doors. This technique often left behind ripples and inconsistencies in the glass.</p></div>

Q: How long should a bathroom mirror last?

• <div><p>Most bathroom mirrors last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance. The actual lifespan is determined by the quality of the mirror, its materials, the way it was hung, and the overall ventilation and humidity level in your bathroom. Meanwhile, LED bathroom mirrors tend to have a lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours. </p></div>

Q: What should you not clean mirrors with?

• <div><p>You should avoid multi-surface cleaners, bleach, and any cloth or scrubbing material that has a rough surface when cleaning mirrors. Multi-surface cleaners and bleach will get smudges and debris off of the glass, but they more often leave behind cleaner residue because they don&rsquo;t evaporate like a glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Additionally, any abrasive material or even the scrubbing side of a sponge can scratch your glass or coatings on the glass, gradually making the mirror look hazy.</p></div>
