Have a glass tabletop of some sort? I do, and I hate having to clean it with harsh abrasives such as Windex or even the oxy clean for glass. Not only is the smell of these products harmful, but it burns the nose. So what to do. Use white toothpaste, I would suggest a whitning toothpaste. Here is what you do.
Using your fingertips, rub a dab of the white toothpaste ove your tables scraches, let it dry, then get a lint-free dry cloth and rub clean. Voila! Good as new, the shine is back. The whitening toothpaste makes your teeth look shiny and new, and now it will also make your glass tabletop do the same. I hope this works for you as it has for me, I'm just passing along what a friend told me about. It works!!

I didn't know this. I will have to share this with my mom she had a glass table in her kitchen. I'm sure its got a million scratches on it since she has kids. :)
I know you can use toothpaste to fill in nail holes on the way it works just like putty does and its cheaper.

I know of this tip before.You can wipe with a wet cotton cloth and clean the glass top table.Then use talcum powder and rub using another dry cloth.This way your table will shine like new.Toothpaste can be used for burns.It is very effective.

That's interesting. I never would have thought of that but I do know that toothpaste does do a lot. It's great on cleaning silver as well.
Normally I use vinegar or I use the foam window cleaner. I find that works great on cleaning the windows and the glass table tops. I love the foam one. It works also on the smooth topped stoves for cleaning.

I have never heard of using toothpaste for cleaning glass, but it sounds like it does work, but doesn't that get expensive? I was going to suggest vinegar and a newspaper. The vinegar cleans well and the smell doesn't linger for too long, and the newspaper is cheaper than say paper towels, and leaves a lot less lint than a towel. Thanks for the idea.
