Here’s a simple, at-home method to reduce scratches on glasses and restore some of their shine. Keep in mind that deep scratches may not fully disappear, but minor ones can often be minimized.
Ingredients / Materials Needed:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- A few drops of water (to make a paste)
- Soft microfiber cloth
Steps to Restore Your Glasses:
- Make a Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a thick, smooth paste.
- Apply to Glasses: Dab a small amount on the scratched area.
- Rub Gently: Using a soft microfiber cloth, rub the paste in a circular motion over the scratch for about 10–20 seconds.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the glasses with lukewarm water to remove all paste.
- Dry and Inspect: Use a clean microfiber cloth to dry. Repeat if scratches are still slightly visible.
Tips for Best Results:
- Always use a soft cloth, never paper towels or rough fabrics.
- Test the paste on a small corner first, especially if your lenses have anti-reflective or special coatings.
- For deep scratches, professional repair or lens replacement may be necessary.
💡 Extra Trick: Some people also use toothpaste (non-gel, non-abrasive) in the same circular-rubbing method. Baking soda tends to be gentler and safer for coated lenses.
