Does wiping a foggy mirror off with a bath towel damage it?

noDoes wiping a foggy mirror off with a bath towel damage it?
Not unless its a very rough bath towel that would be able to scratch glass. Most likely, it will just cause streaks by releasing dust and oil caught on the fibers of the towel onto the mirror. I simple alternative is to blow the mirror with a hair dryer on high setting for about 5 seconds. No streaks! (except for any that may have been there already)Does wiping a foggy mirror off with a bath towel damage it?
Yes it is so. A bath towel is made up of the following organic compound





(C2 - H24- O11).2





This compound has a natural affinity for glass material. Glass is mostly sand and contains Silica (Si), found in abundance in nature. The H24 and Si conglomerate cause the formation of twin-peptide molecues that are known to harm glass.
If it is a terry cloth towel than no. A lot of cheaper fabrics actually have traces of fiber glass in them (I know...weird) so over time the mirror will become scratched. That is why an eye doctor only recomends cleaning your glasses with a terry cloth....for that same reason.
no but it does sometimes leave streaks.the best way to de fog quickly if you have outputs in your bathroom is to use a hairdryer.


If you don't then just keep wiping with a towel it will not harm your mirror at all :-)
it wont damage the mirror, no! but it will leave those wiping marks untill the mirror is cleaned again.. its like writing your name on a foggy mirror or window, it will come back every time the window or mirror is foggy untill its cleaned
I've heard that it can scratch it, but you wipe your windows with paper towels that have little pieces of wood in it. I think it just makes it have a lot more streaks when it dries.
No but if you don't like it, use tissue paper. Bath towels are for your skin. Its best to use something else for the mirror.
NO, it just causes a smudge that when it dries may streak and leave a residue.
to what the mirror or towel? No, no harm. There are some anti-fog products that reduce the need to wipe.
damage the mirror or the towel?
No, the bath towel will be fine.
If your wiping to hard
no but if it dries like that it has water marks but those will wipe off
after a while it scratches it.
