If you’re looking for a simple way to improve the clarity of your glasses, you might be surprised by the effectiveness of an everyday household item: Vaseline. Light scratches on your glasses can be distracting and even affect your vision, but this quick fix can help minimize their appearance without the need for costly repairs. Here’s a friendly guide on how to use Vaseline to make those annoying scratches virtually disappear.
Why Vaseline?
Vaseline, or petroleum jelly, is known for its hydrating properties, but it can also be used to fill in fine scratches on glass surfaces. The jelly acts as a filler and smooths out the surface, which can reduce the visibility of the scratches.
What You’ll Need
Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
Microfiber cloth or cotton swab
Mild soap and water
Soft, dry cloth
Step-by-Step Guide
Clean Your Glasses: Start by cleaning your glasses thoroughly to remove any dust, dirt, or oily residues. Use a mild soap and water, and dry them with a soft cloth to avoid adding more scratches.
Apply Vaseline: Take a small amount of Vaseline on your fingertip or a cotton swab. Rub it gently into the scratch in a circular motion. Be sure to cover the entire scratch with a thin layer of Vaseline.
