Upon receiving this product, there is a disclaimer on the back saying it is not recommended for cleaning the mirror. Why? This is why I purchased it.

I guess I didn't read the disclaimer, but I purchased it for exactly the same reason after doing research on the ways of cleaning the mirror. All I can tell you is that it took care of the dust/dirt on the mirror with no ill effects and I did not have to use any swabs. Camera mirror is working fine now for many months of which I usually take thousands of pictures each month. I can vouch for this product.

They can't control the user's ability not to scratch the mirror. If you slip you might scratch the delicate surface. Worse, you may be emboldened to dust the sensor. A sudden move and there's an expensive proposition. That's their way of saying: "if you wreck your camera, don't turn around and sue us." I've used it to clean every part of my cameras. I haven't screwed anything up yet. Make of that what may. Caveat duster.

The reason you don't want to use this to clean the inside of your camera is because there is a chance when you blow air in you'll also blow in more dust. They are recommending you don't do this because you can end up doing more bad than good.

The air blaster is best for shooting a burst of air at the surface of a lens. Using it to clean a mirror poses risk to damaging the camera internal components. Many people use this product to blow dust off the mirror without damaging their camera but there is no guarantee where the dust blown off the mirror will land. It could land on the image sensor which is worse than on the mirror. That being said I think the disclaimer is for protection against law suits.

Not sure...I used it to blow lint out of the inside of the unit that does the conversion...worked fine. Maybe the concern is you might get something on the small lens and you won't be able to reach it to remove it, but that never happened to me.

I noticed when I first got it too, but then saw that the installation instructions say "Please note that there is a protective cover/film on the mirrors surface so that it does not get scratched during shipping and handling. Ensure that this protective film cover is removed prior to use and cycling." The film isn't immediately obvious, but if you scratch with a fingernail at the edge, I suspect you'll find it (if you haven't removed it already).

I would not use the brush or disc to clean the mirror or mirror less (sensor) for they are delicate part in your camera, using the disc and brush would be too harsh on the sensor or mirror because they are very fragile and can be easily damaged.

No it is not. That's the one downside. It is a really good mirror otherwise.

Good afternoon Elizabeth- I would first give the mirror a try before wasting money on those sprays. We don't recommend sprays because our mirror will work (guaranteed) without them. I have been using mine for a very long time and have never had to clean it. What you have experienced in the past with other mirrors may have been the "anti fog" solution is what was causing you to have to clean the mirror every once in a while. That can leave a harsh residue on the surface which will then cause scratching when you wipe down the mirror. Some places in the country will have harder water thank others which will leave a slight build up on your shower walls, tile and anything else inside the shower (your mirror). If thats the case, using some fresh water on a piece of cloth to wipe down every once in a while should be fine (but might not even be needed). But like I said above, the need to clean your mirror other "fogless mirrors" in the past may have been due in large to the actual anti fog solution you were forced to spray on constantly. Give it a try. If you run into any issues with cleaning it using something you aren't sure about and you damage the mirror, contact us and we will work with you. I have a really good feeling though that your husband will like this product. Have a great day Steve Parisi President ToiletTree Products

I think that would be too harsh on your skin. To be completely honest I bought my pmd off amazon and the suction isn't powerful at all. I even used it on my sensitive skin like my wrist and it didn't even make a mark... I was ripped off most definitely. I suggest you buy from the actual website. You could even get it cheaper than on here with a coupon code. Best of luck.

It is a high quality product. . It should go on a mirror as well as a wall. FYI - the front of the mirror is just glass. . the reflective part is on the back! DH

At first I was afraid to. However, I gone through two different car wash places many times without a single problem. I have not turned my mirror in prior to the wash either, however I think it would be an extra safety factor for the mirror to turn it in close to the car. I could not drive without it now! Great mirror!!

AT THE VERY LEAST the product description should mention that it is designed to be used with a cleaning station. Amazon offered it as an add-on to an order for replacement blades. I bought it unaware that I basically have a bottle of stuff that's supposed to go inside something that I don't have.

Sorry about last answer. I was thinking about another mirror I had purchased. For this one, I just use batteries and remove them when not traveling.

I use it for the back of my head only. I would guess by moving the mirror enough you could see a little of your shoulders, but would not purchase the mirror if you wanted it primarily to see your back.

It is neither. Mine is mounted on mirror...it is 3.5 inches wide and extends out from the mirror approximately 3.25 inches. It has proven to be reliable and if ours were to fail in some way we would purchase this product again.S

I used a product called SealIt from the automotive dept for sealing leaks, strong adhesive and doesn't harm backing on mirror

I used it to take out windshield scratches made by a Scotch-Brite. For a bathroom mirror, I'd be careful of overheating the glass, since the tempering on a car windshield is much greater than that on the bathroom glass (you'll need to stop every minute or two and put some water on the pad -- not on the glass).

There is one item, the mirror, that might present an issue. There is a report that the mirror can separate and become a choking hazard. The rest are likely safe-ish, but the vendor does warn about choking hazards, your mileage may vary, and parental supervision wouldn't hurt.

The directions on the back say "Apply to Face and Neck, avoiding eyes." It's meant as a facial scrub but I suppose if someone had blemishes on their back it could be applied there to cleans and act as an astringent. In my opinion, if it's meant for the face & neck, it should be gentle enough for the back.

I've not yet experienced this so I'm not quite sure! Instructions delivered with light offer detailed information that is easily understood in theory......cannot attest to the practical side! FYI.....I still love this mirror!
