Hi,

Anyone ever used a hair dryer on their mirror after cleaning it to dry up the
little bit of excess water stains that remain after rinsing?

I was just thinking of trying this after cleaning my mirror and watching a few
tiny water stains start to develop.

One would think that the hair dryer would just make everything evaporate quite
quickly and easily and voila---no residual water marks (no matter how tiny and
minimal they normally are).

I've done this in the past and it works well except that all it really
does is hasten the water marks... Drying more quickly doesn't really
stop them from happening, at least not in my experience.

Clear skies,
Greg
