How to Remove Scratches from Your Shower Screen

A scratched shower glass will not only weaken your glass and make it risky; it will also compromise the aesthetic appearance of the bathroom. It may not be possible to totally prevent accidental scratches from happening. Luckily, it is possible to remove scratches and etchings from any type of glass in your home including your glass table top, picture frame or window pane. For glass scratches that are deep, you may need to call glass scratch removal experts who will assess the glass and decide how to best go about removing the scratches. You can, however, undertake a DIY scratch removal on your own for the more superficial scratches. Here are some scratch repair tips to try out.

• Clear nail polish

You can try removing scratches on a window pane using a clear nail polish. To begin with, use a window cleaner to clean the scratch and the surrounding area. Wipe of the window cleaner using a soft cloth. Upon ensuring that the scratched area is dry, apply a thin layer of clear nail polish over the scratched area. Finally, lightly dab a nail polish remover on a clean cloth and use it to wipe off the nail polish. The most important thing to remember in this glass scratch removal method is that you should not apply a very thick layer of the nail polish.

• Metal polish

Another possible method of scratch removal from glass is by using metal polish. Like in the previous method, carefully clean the scratched area and its surrounding a clean cloth. Avoid using paper towels or rough towel for cleaning as these could contribute to more scratches. Dab a small amount of metal polish on another dry and soft cloth and rub this gently on the scratch. To minimize the addition of more scratches, minimize the amount of metal polish that you apply on the area. The scratch will become significantly less visible or will disappear if the scratch is not too deep.

• Homemade scratch remover

You can make a DIY scratch remover from a mixture of baking soda, white toothpaste, and water. Use a clean cloth that is slightly damp to rub this paste in a circular motion on the scratched area. After you are satisfied with the action of the remover on the scratch, use a clean cloth to wipe off the paste. You may need to perform this method several times before the scratch disappears or becomes invisible. While the above methods can help with reducing the appearance of glass scratches, the surest way of eliminating a glass scratch is to engage the expertise of glass experts. You don’t need to call the experts for a broken or chipped glass only; you can also call them when you feel depressed with the aesthetic look of your window of bathroom door glass.
