Most homeowners tend to panic when they see a scratch on their glass top dining table.  Well, there is no reason to panic because you have an easy solution to remove such scratches.

A small sliver of scratch can destroy the elegance and exquisite beauty of glass top dining table.  Although it is true that you can hide it with a place mat or table runner, the problem may grow worse if you will not remove it immediately.

Here is a simple guide which you can follow in order to remove ghastly scratches on glass dining tables.  Take note though that these DIY tips are applicable only for minor and small scratches.  For major defects and damages, it is best to call a professional glass buffer to repair your glass table.  So here it is, the simple solution to glass table scratches:

1.  The first thing you need to do is to determine the extent of the damage.

By understanding the extent of the damage, you can decide if you will repair the scratch by yourself or you will hire a professional to do the job.

Run you forefinger across the scratch.  If you feel a slight hint of bump, then the problem can be solved easily.  However, if you feel a big bump and you think that the scratch can slice your finger, then it is a deep scratch that needs professional attention.

2.  Once you determine that you can do the job by yourself, the next step you need to do is to find an extra strong teeth whitening paste.  In short, you need special toothpaste for teeth whitening.

Put a small amount of toothpaste on top of the scratch and at the surrounding areas.  Let it stand for at least ten minutes so that the paste can settle inside the small scratch.  The polishing paste that you normally use for your car windshield can also remove glass scratches so this is a good alternative.

3.  After ten minutes, put a small cloth around your forefinger and rub the surface vigorously.

This can be very tiring but you need to be patient in order to get the desired effect.  For best results, you can use a hand held electric buffer.  Polish the surface for several minutes until the scratch is removed.

If this procedure fails, simply repeat the process until you get the desired result.  If the scratch remains after several minutes of re-buffing and polishing, then it is probably time to call a professional to repair your glass top dining table.
