Black Patches Growing On Bathroom Mirror! Help!

Recommended Posts

Noticed 2 small grey black patches on bathroom mirror after moving in for 2 months. Then realised these patches have been getting bigger and spreading. Any idea what the cause is and how to remove them?

The patches are on a part of the mirror where no water touches.

Similar thing happened to me before.

It could be mould, which is a sign that there's either:

1. a leak in the bathroom.

2. poor ventilation in your bathroom.

the patch comes from behind. i can see that it is not on the mirror. i was told it has to do with inferior quality of the back piece causing a chemical reaction.

From experience I noticed such spots tend to appear if you wash your mirror with soap / detergent. Once I stopped such cleaning agent on my new mirror I dont see it happening again. Just clean mirror with water and wipe will do. Avoid any chemical contact on mirror.
