How To Fix A Scratched Glass Coffee Table
Scratched glass coffee tables can diminish your room’s overall appeal significantly, but don’t despair! If you have heard that repairing scratched glass is impossible – that’s simply not true. You can repair these scratches yourself in a few simple steps.
What You Will Need:
- Glass polishing compound
- Clean cloths
- Vacuum cleaner
- Soft cloth
- Scouring pad
Step One – Clean
The first step is to give your coffee table a thorough clean. Remove any dust and debris using a vacuum cleaner and then use a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime.
Step Two – Prepare
Once the coffee table is clean, prepare the scratched area. Use a scouring pad over rough or jagged edges to smooth them off so the repair compound will be more effective.
Step Three – Apply
Once the area is prepared, you can then apply the glass polishing compound. Use circular motions and a soft cloth to buff the area. The compound will fill in any deep scratches, remove haze and clarify the glass.
Step Four – Rinse
Once the compound is applied, give your coffee table a good rinse with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
Step Five – Dry
Finally, dry your coffee table off with a clean cloth and take a look at your handiwork! With the right technique and a little elbow grease, you can repair scratched glass without a problem.
Keep in mind: If the scratches on your glass coffee table are too deep, unfortunately they cannot be removed. In this case, it may be necessary to replace the glass.
