Unfortunately, it is not possible to clean both sides of your scanner glass. You can only clean the front side of the scanner glass. Remember that you should use the non-abrasive cleaning cloth to avoid scratches that may affect the quality of the scanned documents. You can buy a cleaning kit from the link below.
