Re: Cleaning day, safe cleaning products?
Natural ingredients are not necessarily chemical-free, non-toxic or all-animal-safe. Not saying Greenworks is bad, but I have read others recommend against using it. I personally use a vinegar and water mixture to clean my tanks, soak water bowls, etc. The most effective way to disinfect is probably a 10% bleach/water solution, but make sure to thoroughly rinse and dry. I have also heard good reviews on Hibitane.

I use water and elbow grease! Slight bleach mixture for tough stains if required.

Re: Cleaning day, safe cleaning products?
10%bleach/water makes it sparkle and kills all the odors that I can't get out with regular soap. Lather, rinse,rinse,rinse, enjoy. I'd use disposable gloves even though it's diluted, it's still noticably caustic.
Is regular windex safe to use on the glass they don't come into contact on?
