    Cleaning terrarium water stains help

    Hey guys. You know that evaporated water mess that gradually builds up on the terrarium walls over time? Yeah I bet you do, and I need some tips for the best way to clean the ass nice and good. I usually sponge wash with warm vinegar water n such but once it dries it doesn't get rid of too much of that stain. Any other recommendations??

    I asked the same question a while back.

    Here's the link with the answers I received:

    I've been using a diluted vinegar solution since with good results.

    If you know someone who has a water softener, ask them if they can give you a few gallons of it. Our water softener makes a world of difference. (Bottled drinking water still has minerals-- you need water softener water or distilled).

    Obviously you would feed your pets regular water to drink, not softened or distilled.

    Vinegar might be a little harsh...I'd suggest plain water &
