Removing Scratches from a Glass Coffee Table
Removing scratches from a glass coffee table is an easy and relatively inexpensive process. Fortunately, there are many methods available, so if one doesn’t work, try another. Here are a few tips on how to get rid of those pesky scratches:
Natural Remedies
- Toothpaste: The most popular method is to use a mild, non-abrasive toothpaste. Apply the toothpaste directly to the scratch and rub it into the glass in circular motions with a soft cloth.
- Baking soda: Mix equal parts of baking soda and non-gel toothpaste and apply directly to the scratch. Again, rub it into the glass in circular motions.
- Vaseline: Vaseline is a great natural remedy for smoothing out scratches. Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the scratch, and use a soft cloth to rub it into the glass. Allow it to sit for several minutes, and then wipe away the excess with a damp cloth.
Commercial Solutions
- Glass polish: There are many commercial products on the market specifically designed to remove scratches from glass. Glass polishes typically contain a combination of compounds that help remove the scratches without damaging the glass surface.
- Glass sealer: In addition to polishes, there are also products that are designed to fill in and seal the scratch. These products typically consist of a combination of waxes and resins that can help to seal the scratch and make it less noticeable.
If you have tried the methods above and are still unable to get rid of the scratch, it might be time to consider replacing the glass table top. After all, the safety and beauty of your glass table should always be your top priority!
