One of the fears that users with our phones have is that the screen or the smartphone itself from its back or sides could be damaged, which leads us to use covers and protectors. However, it is difficult for a scratch not to appear that affects the aesthetics of the device, which can lead us to try the tricks to fix scratches on mobile phones that we find on the internet.
We know that everything that is on the network is not always true and we have to go with the brake on before we get a surprise, but to avoid wasting time and get an unexpected surprise when we see that it does not work to fix the mobile , we are going to know those possible myths that make us think of solutions to fix scratches and marks of use.
The tricks that don’t work at all
As much as we insist on some of the tricks that we find on the internet to repair the screen of mobile phones and its structure , we will not know the desired result. This does not mean that the damage is irreparable, but because the methods that are often recommended to us are not functional and can damage our mobile more than they improve it. We share a list with all the tricks to fix scratches that do not work and therefore we should avoid:
- Toothpaste
- Baking soda
- Vaseline
- Apple, banana and other fruit skin
- Oils or gels
- Sandpaper
- Talcum powder
- Nail polish
All those that are based on chemical components such as bicarbonate, petroleum jelly, oils or the enamel itself, could make the screen never return to what it was since they do the opposite to repair it, since they have abrasive components for the mobile and layers of the material used on the screen or on the body of the mobile phone can be carried with them.
