Adjusting the Tilt Angle:
The TETOTE Pivot Mirror features an upgraded damping design that allows for easy and stable adjustment of the tilt angle. Simply use one hand to gently push the mirror to your desired angle. The mirror will hold its position securely without loosening or tipping forward, providing a stable and precise reflection.
This adjustable feature makes the mirror suitable for users of all heights, including adults and children, and is practical for both sitting and standing use. It can also accommodate uneven walls or wainscoting by tilting the mirror to avoid obstructions.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your TETOTE Pivot Mirror.
Cleaning the Mirror Surface:
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
- Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the mirror, to prevent liquid from seeping behind the frame.
- Wipe the mirror surface gently until clean and streak-free.
Frame Care:
The mirror's robust aluminum frame features an anodizing finish, making it moisture-proof, waterproof, and rust-resistant. This makes it ideal for bathroom environments.
- Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the frame, as they may damage the finish.
- Ensure the frame is dry after cleaning to maintain its integrity.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns and provides solutions for your TETOTE Pivot Mirror.
Mirror Appears Loose or Tilts Unintentionally:
- Check Mounting Screws: Ensure all screws securing the pivot brackets to the wall are tightened properly. Over time, screws can loosen slightly.
- Verify Wall Anchors: Confirm that the correct type and size of wall anchors were used for your wall material during installation. If the anchors are insufficient, they may not provide adequate support.
- Inspect Damping Mechanism: While the mirror features an upgraded damping design for stable hold, ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the pivot mechanism.
Mirror Surface is Streaky or Dirty:
- Use Proper Cleaning Method: Refer to the 'Care and Maintenance' section for recommended cleaning agents and techniques. Avoid direct spraying onto the mirror.
- Lint-Free Cloth: Always use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to prevent streaks and residue.
Damage During Shipping:
- Our product packaging has passed impact, drop, and heavy pressure tests to ensure safe arrival. However, in the rare event of damage, please contact customer support immediately for a full replacement service.
