Follow these easy steps to restore your eyeglasses:
Apply toothpaste: Place a small amount of non-abrasive toothpaste on the scratched area of the lens.
Buff gently: Use the soft cloth to gently buff the toothpaste into the lens in a circular motion for about 10-15 seconds.
Rinse: Rinse the lens with lukewarm water to remove all toothpaste residue.
Dry: Pat the lens dry with another clean, soft cloth.
Repeat: If necessary for deeper scratches, repeat the process.
This method requires minimal effort and harnesses the mild abrasive properties of toothpaste to polish out the scratches.
Alternative Methods Compared
While other methods exist, such as using baking soda paste, commercial scratch removal products, or even brass polish, they may require more effort and materials or potentially risk damaging the lenses further. My grandmother’s toothpaste trick stands out for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.
