Cleaning Glass

Hi Guys,

Did a search and found out plenty about disinfecting enclosures...But if you have an all glass set up, what is best for cleaning general dust and fingerprints???

Would windex on the outside be ok? What about inside?

Thanks in advance

RE: Cleaning Glass

I use windex, its gets the glass really clean. Not sure if it affects the snake or not so I remove the glass completely and only replace it once the windex smell has gone.

RE: Cleaning Glass

Put some metho and water in a spray bottle and mist the glass. Drying and polishing with newspaper makes glass sparkling clean.

Enyo micro star cloths.....around $50 if i remember correctly.
Stray water on the glass and wipe of......works wonders.
I was showen a test where the lady wiped butter on the glass of my cage... .
To my amaznment she sprayed cold water on it; then wiped it off....no streaking!!!
Best part is you dont have to use chemical cleaners etc.
I have however throwen a few away with cage waste paper :roll:

disinfectant - basically it will kill just about any nasty organism that you can think of if you use the correct strength. it is a vet supply chemical

lol. i'd love to go to the enyo party... but i have to wash my hair unfortunately :wink: . Yeah as all the others have said Vinegar is a great cleaner, and the best part is it's natural (so i guess it wouldn't be as toxic as some other cleaning chemicals). It's what i use
