Restore your scratched mirrors and glass surfaces at home: a step-by-step guide

This is an excellent trick that can also be used on other glass surfaces in your home, including tables, shower cabins, and windows. After all, visible scratches may diminish the decorative appeal, an essential function of these items.

While this task requires a good deal of patience and diligence, the results are truly worth it!

Firstly, remove the mirror from the wall and lay it flat on a stable surface. Be extra careful to prevent it from slipping onto the floor during cleaning and polishing.

Clean it meticulously with a glass cleaner. This step is crucial, as even the slightest layer of dirt or dust can hinder the polishing process.

If you notice scratches around the edges, remove the mirror's frame. This action will help you clean the corners later more effectively.

Next, wet a soft cotton cloth lightly with some oil.

Rub it on the mirror's surface. This step requires a patient and thorough approach – you must buff the glass carefully for at least 15 minutes. The method will likely be ineffective if you do it for less time.

After polishing, remove any remaining oil from the mirror's surface, and then clean it thoroughly with a glass cleaner. You may need to clean it twice, but the visual improvement will be dramatic – the mirror will appear as if it never had any scratches!

And that's all there is to it! There is no need for professional help, no need to replace the mirror, and no unnecessary expenses!
