How to Get Scratches Out of Black Glass Coffee Table
A black glass coffee table adds a bit of luxury to your living room. However, it’s also prone to scratches, so keep these simple tips in mind to help keep it looking polished:
Clean the Area Around the Scratch
Before attempting to buff out the scratch, it’s important to clean the area surrounding it. Dampen a paper towel with window cleaner and gently wipe away any dirt and debris.
Buff it Out
For scratches that are in the surface of the glass, you can use a non-abrasive, powdered cleanser to buff out the mark. Simply dip a clean cloth in a decent amount of the cleanser, and gently rub the spot in a circular motion
Protect the Surface
Using furniture oil, apply a thin layer to the surface of the glass. This will help protect it against future scratches.
Scratches That Don’t Come Out
If you find that the scratch won’t buff out, fear not-there are still some other ways to remove it:
- Glass Filler: Look for a glass filler that comes in a syringe you can use to fill the scratch with a transparent acrylic material.
- Resurface: This is a more advanced technique, and involves removing the top layer of glass from the entire table, and then replacing it with a new piece.
To sum it up, scratches on a black glass coffee table don’t have to be the end of the world. With a bit of buffing and some protective oil, you can keep your table looking nearly perfect.
