How to Remove Scratches from a Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables can be a beautiful addition to your home but, unfortunately, they can easily get scratched over time. Here’s how to remove scratches from your glass coffee table and restore its original beauty.
Gather Your Supplies
The following supplies are needed for this project:
- Soft, lint-free cloth
- Cardboard
- Aluminum foil
- Water
- Mild, non-abrasive detergent
- Glass polish (Check the label to make sure it’s suitable for glass.)
Prepare the Surface
Begin by soaking the soft cloth in the soapy water, wring it out, and gently wipe down the glass. Before moving on to the next step, make sure the surface is completely dry and free of any debris.
Remove the Scratch
Saliva Method: Place a piece of cardboard beneath the glass where the scratch is located. Rub some saliva onto your finger and run it along the scratch. Wipe away the saliva, and you should find that the scratch has disappeared.
Foil Method: Place some aluminum foil over the scratch and press gently down. Drag the foil over the scratch and buff gently until it’s no longer visible.
Polish the Area
Once the scratch is gone, apply glass polish to the area using a circular motion and a lint-free cloth. Wipe away the polish with a new cloth and admire your beautiful glass coffee table.
Final Remarks
Removing scratches from a glass coffee table is not difficult when you have the right supplies and instructions. Always take care to use the correct type of glass polish to ensure that your coffee table remains beautiful and scratch-free.
