Re: Cleaning a glass enclosure.
I just use some paper towels and windex after taking out any big bits of nasty by hand. I go over it once or twice with a fresh paper towel soaked in clean water to get rid of any chemical residue. The nice thing about glass cleaner is the fact that it leaves very very little behind after you've used it, since the goal is to leave glass 'streak free'. Just let it air out for a couple of minutes to get rid of any smell and it's golden!
What bedding do you use?
0.1 07 Normal "Bigsnake"
1.0 08 Lesser "Congo"
1.0 12 Piebald "Pixel"

Re: Cleaning a glass enclosure.
A dedicated spray bottle with a solution of 1/32 parts bleach/water is safe and effective to properly clean almost any enclosure. 32 oz. heavy duty spray bottles can be found at your local Walmart in the home hardware section.
Fill with water, add one ounce of bleach(about 2 capfuls)
Spray down enclosure
Wipe, wipe, wipe with dedicated rag or paper towels
RINSE
RINSE
RINSE until you can't smell anything in the tank/tub.
Towel dry(I leave mine out in the sun for a few minutes after the towel to completely dry)
Refill/redecorate cage
Done.
