Can toothpaste remove scratches from glasses?

Toothpaste is one of the simplest, least expensive scratch removal tools.

Yes…really.

All you have to do is apply some paste to your glasses lens. Then, use a soft cloth to gently buff the scratch out. It’s so easy!

However, this technique only works for shallow scratches. And, you must use smooth toothpaste. Unfortunately, the grittier stuff doesn’t work.

  • Do scratched glasses hurt your eyes?

    If you have a scratch on your glasses, it’s important to get them fixed. Living with a lens scratch can have long-lasting effects on your eyes.

    While scratch glasses don’t hurt your eyes, necessarily, they can make your eyes very tired. The eyeball tends to focus on the scratch. So it spends a lot of energy bouncing between the scratch and everything else in your field of vision.

    Over time, this activity can exhaust your eyeballs and worsen your vision.

  • how do you repair scratched glass?

    Repairing scratched glass is very easy. All you need is a microfiber cloth and one of the following materials:

  • Baking soda
  • Metal polish
  • Car cleaning wax
  • Toothpaste
  • If you use baking soda, you should mix it with water. Stir up the mixture to form a thick, toothpaste-like substance.

    If you use any of the other materials, you can apply them directly.

    Apply the liquid to the surface of the glass. Using slow, circular motions, wipe the substance into the glass. The scratch should disappear!

  • How do you remove phone screen scratches?

    Baking soda, toothpaste, car wax, and metal polish remove scratches from all kinds of glass.

    They work on windshields, windows, eyeglasses and, yes, cell phone screens.

    Of course, you have to be careful when trying to buff phone screen scratches. You must make sure that your scratch remover isn’t too wet. Otherwise, you could damage your phone.
