Removing Scratches From Glass Tables

Sliding objects such as dinnerware and cookware or dropping utensils on a glass table can result in small scratches. These surface scratches may not be prominent at first, but they can darken as dirt and grime become trapped in them. Removing the dirt from inside the scratches may help temporarily, but once dirt finds its way back into the scratches, you are faced with the same exasperating chore. Nongel whitening toothpaste and jeweler's rouge both have enough abrasive power to wear down the scratches without creating new ones.

Instructions

  1. Whitening Toothpaste

    • 1

      Wipe the glass top clean with a soft cloth. Rub the cloth into the scratches to remove any embedded dirt.

    • 2

      Place 1/4 inch of whitening toothpaste on the tip of your finger. Apply enough toothpaste to cover each scratch. Allow the toothpaste to remain on the scratches for 10 to 15 minutes, giving the toothpaste time to sink into the scratch.

    • 3

      Wrap a soft cloth around your index finger. Rub the toothpaste into the scratches, using brisk, circular motions with your finger. Buff each scratch for two to three minutes.

    • 4

      Inspect the scratches after buffing. If the scratches remain, add more toothpaste, and repeat the procedure. Remove all the scratches from the glass table.

    • 5

      Spray the table top with a glass cleaner. Wipe the toothpaste residue from the table with a clean cloth.

    Jeweler's Rouge

    • 6

      Rub a dime-sized amount of jeweler's rouge on a lamb's wool cloth or pad. Gently rub the jeweler's rouge on each scratch on the glass table.

    • 7

      Rub the scratch, using small circular motions and light pressure. Inspect the scratch after 10 to 15 seconds of rubbing. If the scratch has disappeared, move to the next one. Repeat the procedure on all the scratches.

    • 8

      Mix 1/4 cup ammonia with 1 gallon water. Wet a sponge with the mixture.

    • 9

      Wipe the glass tabletop with the ammonia mixture, removing the jeweler's rouge from the surface. Rinse the sponge with cold water, and wipe over the glass again to remove the ammonia from the table. Dry the table with a soft, clean cloth.
