Baking Soda Method: If toothpaste doesn’t work, you can create a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it similarly, rubbing it into the scratched area with a microfiber cloth. Rinse and wipe clean afterward.
Car Wax Method: Some users have also reported success using a small amount of car wax to fill in minor scratches on their lenses. This method is less common but worth trying for stubborn scratches.
FAQ:
Can I use any kind of toothpaste? It’s best to use a non-gel, white toothpaste. Gel toothpaste can sometimes leave behind sticky residues or cause further damage.
Does this work on all types of glasses? This method works well on plastic lenses. It may not be as effective on thicker or coated lenses like those with anti-reflective coatings.
How many times can I repeat this process? You can repeat this method once or twice if the scratches are not fully gone. However, it’s important to avoid over-scrubbing, as it may wear down the lens coating over time.
Will this method work for deep scratches? For deep scratches, this method may help reduce their visibility, but it may not completely eliminate them. If the scratches are too severe, it might be time to consider lens replacement.
This simple home remedy can save you money and time while restoring your glasses to their clear, scratch-free state.
