The most common reason for scratches on a mirror is improper care or careless handling.
Thus, scratches can appear due to cleaning with abrasive agents, washing with a hard sponge or mechanical damage from sharp objects.
It is unlikely that you will be able to completely remove flaws from a mirror at home, but masking them is a completely realistic task.
To do this, you can try several methods to restore the mirror surface.
Toothpaste
You will need to apply the mixture to the damaged area and gently rub it in. After the paste dries, remove the remains with a napkin and polish the mirror with flannel.
Clear nail polish
To eliminate damage, apply varnish evenly over the entire area of the defect with a brush. Any streaks that appear can be removed with a cotton swab. Your task is to achieve a smooth surface. When the varnish dries, polish the mirror until it shines.
Foil
If the scratches are so deep that the amalgam is visible, place foil on the back of the defect so that it covers the scratches and secure it with tape.
