Removing Brown Scratches on a Glass Cooktop

Accidentally scraping the bottom of a dirty pot or pan against a glass cooktop can result in brown scratches on the appliance. While little can be done about deep scratches, light scratches can be buffed away using a common household item. Refrain from using any product that is too abrasive on your glass cooktop, as it may result in further damage.
