Removing Scratches from Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables look beautiful, but can be fragile and prone to scratches. While it may seem hopeless if your glass coffee table has been scratched, there are a few steps you can take to help reduce the appearance of these blemishes.
What to Do if Your Glass Coffee Table Is Scratched
Here are some tips to help you remove scratches from your glass coffee table:
- Despite what you hear, toothpaste is actually not a good method for removing scratches from glass. Toothpaste is abrasive, and it can actually worsen the appearance of the scratch.
- Use a store-bought scratch remover from your local hardware store. This is the most effective and safest way to remove scratches from glass, as these products are specifically designed to gently buff away the marks.
- A high-grade car wax can also be used as an alternative to a store-bought scratch remover. Use a soft cloth and apply a small amount of wax to the scratched area. Rub the wax in a circular motion until the scratch is removed.
- In extreme cases, you may be able to use a mild acid such as lime juice or vinegar to help reduce the appearance of the scratch. Use a soft cloth and a small amount of acid to gently rub the affected area. Rinse the treated area with water afterwards.
Conclusion
It may take some time and effort, but it is possible to remove scratches from your glass coffee table. Remember to always test any product or method first on an inconspicuous area of the table to make sure it will work before attempting to use it on the scratched area itself.
