I'm guessing that stuff is ok to use on the inside of the enclosure? I mean, if there is a bit of residue and the reptile ingests it?

When I do a sand change I scoop it all out then wipe over the tank with wet paper towel, then spray with F10, leave for about 10mins then wipe it out with damp then dry paper towels.

But I only do a sand change every month or two, otherwise just spot cleaning (for gecko's).

I use F10 which is extremely cheap when you work out your ration of 1:125 F10 to water ratio. And it leaves no residue in your tank so you don't have to rinse out with water. You can just spray it on and let it air dry and return your animals to the enclosure.

Oh and is it ok to use on glass too?

It is great on glass as well. I use to clean the glass on all my enclosures, better than Windex I reckon.

Cheers
