Anyone got any DIY ideas for a non-steaming-up mirror. This is the sort of thing for which they rip you off in the shops. I guess you just want a heater on the back. What type of element would be suitable ? Simon.

Dry it, then wipe it with neat washing up liquid, then wipe dry again.
You can also use the stuff for spectacles, but it's essentially concentrated washing up liquid.
A mirror element:
Easy as that ! Cheers, Simon.
Also you can get some stuff for car windscreens which is probably also concentrated washing up liquid. ah well, I can always use these 3 bottles of car windscreen desteamer to clean the dishes :)
I was going to fit one of these when renovating our bathroom; however, earlier on in the refurb (fortunately) I installed an extractor fan and the mirror no longer steams up at all. So I didn't bother with the element.

Do you remember those stick on car rear windscreen heaters you dad used to put on his old banger of a car - they work for this. Wire them into a transformer, and the light switch.

Ideal for a designer bathroom. ;-)
