Snake-Safe Glass Cleaner???

[Bluz Brotherz]

All of my reptiles (which I only have a few) are put on display in glass terrariums and for the most part I'm content with their husbandry, but it's more of a visual concern I have. My house gets dusty quickly, and the glass becomes dirty quickly. I usually just dust it off with those swifter feather things but it still leaves the glass cloudy and unattractive. Now, does anyone know of any pet-safe glass cleaner that can make the glass look brand new again? Or a homemade recipe they have? Or just something useful in general? I'm a perfectionist and looking at cloudy glass just makes my skin itch, but I'm not willing to risk my animals health to get the class clean.

Clean water, dry off and shine with newspapers. Works like a charm!

Yeah, I do that and then dry it off with another towel, but it results in these water stains you see on my male sand boa's cage:

Dont use towels

Oh snap, is that why? I feel dull now, but I'll buy some newspapers in the morning and see if that works on some stubborn glass.

Vinegar and water works every time

The free ones are just as absorbent as the ones you pay for, if you don't plan on reading them first :D

But yes paper leaves the glass much clearer than towels do.

I'll try that if the newspaper trick doesn't work.

I'd imagine, but I don't get the paper route so I'd have to go and buy one from the market :/

Didn't realize things worked so differently down there :o Up here getting papers delivered is what costs money, and you can grab newspapers for free from little booth things around town or in cafes.

You could also try going down to your local printing press to see if they'll give you their leftover newsprint paper(unprinted) for free or cheap. They always have a bit left over that's too small to use for the next day because switching it out mid-print would interrupt the output too much.
