How do you seal the edges of mirrors to protect from humidity, moisture and windex etc. Mirrors are in apaartments so I cannot control the tenants cleaning methods.

Your local glass shop can sell you "Mirror Edge Sealant".

I can see few brown spots on the bottom edge of my bathroom mirror. Mirror is only half year old and it's from Spain. Is it too late to seal the edges now, will it stop the rotting process? Thank you, Sofia.

There is no way of telling. It may stay that way for years or it may continue to spread. There is nothing you can do now.

Thank you John. Do you think sealing the edges won't help? I thought it will stop moisture from getting in there.

Any product to remove Mirror Sealant on the mirror itself?

The residue on the mirror was left there without wiping and now it has dried up and the stains seems unable to be remove.

Scrape it off with a single edge razor blade. Use a new blade & be careful not to scratch the mirror.
