Salvage a scratched glass tabletop with this

-

You snagged a great deal on a glass coffee table at a garage sale, but when you got the piece home, you noticed a few marks on the surface. Instead of purchasing a pricey repair kit to erase the damage, enlist the help of non-gel toothpaste. To do: Gently rub a dime-size dollop of the paste into the nicks using your fingertips. Let sit for about 5 minutes until it hardens, then use a soft cloth to wipe away the excess. The calcium phosphate in toothpaste fills in scratches, leaving the glass looking as good as new.
