Using your Albion mirror is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot as it comes pre - assembled. When it comes to cleaning, start by gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth. If you notice any smudges, dampen a soft cloth slightly and wipe the mirror. Immediately dry it with a dry, soft cloth to prevent water spots. Remember to clean along the grain of the wood if you can see it. Avoid leaving any liquids on the surface for a long time as it might damage the wood or the mirror. Also, be aware that there is a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so handle it with care.
