What does everyone use to clean glass with on the inside?

what is safe for the mantis?

would a vinegar water solution be safe?

I use a vinegar water solution for my terrariums with glass. I just let it dry out before I put them back. I've never had an issue. I even accidentally picked up the bottle labeled vinegar and water and sprayed some mantises. I smelled it right away and realized what I had done. They were fine. Now I'm careful to put that water bottle away.

Good to know, I think I'll be getting an exo terra soon, so knowing how to clean it could be important huh?

I just use hot water then wipe with paper towel.

I use water and a razor blade for tough water stains.

I cleaned my new one with just distilled water.

I just raise the humidity super high for a few hours. Cleans everything up and leaves no streaks.
