How To Get Rid Of Scratches On Glass Coffee Table
Scratches on a glass coffee table can detract from its beauty and leave it looking dated and worn. Fortunately, there are simple methods of removing these scratches and restoring your coffee table back to its former glory.
What You’ll Need
- Glass cleaner
- Flour
- Water
- Soft cloth or sponge
- Toothpaste
- Cotton swab
- Paper towel
Step 1: Clean The Table
Before you try to remove the scratches, give your coffee table a thorough cleaning. Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge, making sure to remove all dust, dirt and debris. After you have finished cleaning, let the table dry before proceeding.
Step 2: Make A Paste
In a small bowl, mix equal parts of flour and water until you have a paste-like consistency. Once your paste is ready, apply it directly to the scratches and let it sit for a few minutes.
Step 3: Rub The Paste
Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently rub the paste into the scratches. You may need to apply more pressure for deeper scratches. Remember to use gentle, circular motions and to be patient – it might take some time and effort to get rid of the scratches.
Step 4: Rinse With Water
Once you have finished rubbing the paste into the scratches, rinse the area with clean water using a paper towel. Make sure to remove all traces of the paste before moving on to the next step.
Step 5: Apply Toothpaste
Dab a small amount of toothpaste onto a cotton swab. Gently rub the toothpaste into the scratches, using circular motions. Allow the toothpaste to dry before proceeding.
Step 6: Rinse And Dry
Once the toothpaste has dried, rinse the area with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Coffee Table
Your glass coffee table should now be free of scratches and look good as new. You can now once again enjoy your favourite spot in the living room.
With the right tools and a bit of patience, you can get rid of those unsightly scratches on your glass coffee table and have it looking as good as new in no time.
