Why is the mirror in the bathroom during a hot shower become foggy?
If you take a hot shower in a closed bathroom, the mirror is likely to “fog” up. The “fog” consists of tiny droplets of water that form on the cool surface of the mirror. Some of the hot water from the shower evaporates, so the air in the bathroom contains a lot of water vapor.
How can I clear the steam from my bathroom mirror?
To clear the mirror, first open the bathroom door or turn on the exhaust fan to vent the steam. Blow warm air from a hair dryer onto the mirror to clear the steam quickly.

When the air in the bathroom is warmed by the heat of the shower, the air will suspend the tiny water droplets until the air is saturated and the droplets fall to the floor.
