Common sense, right?
Naturally, it’s advisable to steer clear of such mishaps, but accidents are inevitable. Storing your keys and phone in the same pocket increases the likelihood of your screen getting scratched. While it might seem catastrophic, there’s a solution at hand. Surprisingly, eliminating these scratches is quite simple. And the secret ingredient? It’s likely already sitting in your bathroom at home!
Removing Scratches from Your Phone Screen
Alright, let’s face it, if your screen resembles the one depicted here, there’s little hope of salvaging it. While a professional may be able to replace the screen, our tip won’t suffice. However, it can help eliminate scratches. We’ve all experienced it; the screen functions perfectly, but those scratches are impossible to ignore. You can feel them as you swipe and scroll, and they’re always visible. This handy trick will finally help you get rid of them.
Here’s What You Need to Do
It’s remarkably simple. You’ll require: your phone, a cotton swab, and a tube of plain, white toothpaste. Avoid fancy whitening toothpaste or gels with microbeads. Stick to basic white toothpaste, as we all once used. First, ensure there’s no dust or debris on the screen to prevent further scratches. Then, apply a small amount of toothpaste to the cotton swab and generously rub it onto the scratch. Next, gently make circular motions over and around the scratch with the cotton swab. If the scratch isn’t too deep, you’ll notice it vanish immediately. Carefully wipe off the excess toothpaste with a damp cloth, and there you have it.
How It Functions
The effectiveness of toothpaste in this scenario actually makes sense. Its primary function is to provide a polishing effect. It’s adept at combating plaque on teeth and evening out tooth color, as well as buffing out scratches like these. Be cautious not to apply too much toothpaste to the screen, as this could result in blurry spots instead of merely removing the scratch. In that case, a visit to a phone repair shop would be necessary, not for a scratch but for those hazy patches and a phone with a faint scent of toothpaste. Whoops!
What You Absolutely Should Avoid
Some online sources suggest using silver polish to remove screen scratches. But just because it works wonders on silverware doesn’t mean it’s suitable for your phone. Silver polish can cause more harm than good to your phone screen. It’s formulated exclusively for use on silver. Still tempted to give it a shot? You might end up damaging the screen coating and exacerbating the issue. So, it’s best to steer clear of it altogether.
