Using your Ripley Gold Lotus Mirror is a breeze. You can hang it horizontally or vertically depending on your space and style preference. Just find a suitable wall and use appropriate hanging hardware. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the mirror and the frame to keep it looking shiny. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the gold finish. Also, keep in mind that this product contains nickel, which is a chemical known to cause cancer in California.
