Our grandmothers were masters of household hacks, and their wisdom often lies in the simplest of solutions. When it comes to reviving dull, scratched glass, their go-to ingredients were often right in the kitchen cupboard. Let’s uncover these age-old secrets to restore your glass to its former glory.
The Power of Water and Baking Soda
Water and baking soda – two humble ingredients that can work wonders on your glass surfaces. This classic combination can tackle a range of issues, from stubborn stains to light scratches.
Here’s how to use it:
- Create a paste: Mix equal parts baking soda and water to form a thick paste.
- Apply gently: Using a soft, damp cloth, apply the paste to the stained or scratched area in circular motions.
- Scrub softly: For stubborn stains or light scratches, increase the pressure slightly, but be gentle to avoid causing more damage.
- Rinse thoroughly: Once you’ve finished scrubbing, rinse the glass with warm water to remove the baking soda residue.
- Dry carefully: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dry the glass completely, preventing water spots.
Additional Tips for Glass Care
- Prevent scratches: Use coasters and placemats to protect glass surfaces from scratches.
- Handle with care: Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive sponges that can scratch the glass.
- Regular cleaning: Regular cleaning prevents buildup of dirt and grime, which can lead to scratches.
By following these simple steps and incorporating grandma’s wisdom, you can keep your glass items sparkling and free from unsightly stains and scratches.
