It is almost impossible to keep the glass surface free from scratches for a long period of time. Glass surface sustains scratches in one way or another over a period of time and you just cannot avoid them. There is no need to go for a new piece of glass because you can remove the scratches form the glass surface quite easily.
If you have minor scratches on the glass surface, you can use white toothpaste to remove the scratch. Cover the entire scratch with the white toothpaste and allow it to harden for some time. After that take a soft cloth and wipe it off from the surface. Make certain that you wipe it in one direction to avoid incurring scratches. Toothpaste is most preferred choice over the abrasive cleaner. Abrasive cleaner is not useful for glass as it is designed for rougher surfaces like stove, sinks and showers.
If a glass surface has a deep scratch, it is suggested to use a solution of white vinegar and ground mustard seed. Ground mustard seed is easily available at the grocery store. You have to make the paste very carefully. Take 1 tablespoon of ground mustard seed and mix it in a few drops of vinegar. Remember, you need the solution in a paste form, so don't add too much of vinegar to make it thin. Apply the paste on the scratch and spread it on the entire scratch.
