How to Take Paint Off of a Glass Coffee Cup
There are lots of times when you might need to remove paint from your glass coffee cup, whether that’s because it hs been accidently painted for craft, or it has started to chip and flake away. Removing paint from a glass coffee cup shouldn’t be a difficult process, and it is often an easy fix.
What You Will Need
- Soap
- Baking Soda
- Vinegar
- Cotton Balls
Step-by-Step Guide
- Start by wetting a cotton ball with some soap and warm water and rubbing the area until the paint starts to come off.
- If the paint is still not coming off, then try mixing equal parts baking soda and water together to make a paste. Use a cotton ball to apply the paste to the area and gently scrub for a few minutes.
- If the paint is still not coming off then try using a cotton ball dampened with white vinegar. Scrub the area for a few minutes and then rinse the cup off and pat dry.
- If the paint still isn’t coming off then try using a fine-grade steel wool or sandpaper, as this will work to slowly remove the paint without damaging the glass too much. Remember to rinse off the cup and wipe dry afterwards.

Removing paint from a glass coffee cup should be a relatively easy process if you have the right materials. Start by using soap and warm water, then move onto baking soda paste, vinegar and finally steel wool or sandpaper if appropriate.
