Has anyone used the spray cleaner of 'reptile cage cleaner' inside frog enclosures, is it fine for them to use?
 
Nope using chemicals around frogs very often doesn't end well, there skin is absorbent they soak up moisture like a sponge so any residue used that even when wiped dry on the glass reactivates when wet the frog will take in. A strong absorbent paper towel or cloth that hasn't been used with chemicals for cleaning and washed in plain water several times along with a bucket of warm water is enough to scrub clean a frog enclosure and all furnishings, on the lawn in the sun on a warm day as the UV is also a great natural disinfectant.
