Poll: Outside glass cleaning

[Techno-Vicki]

I was windex in the paper towel then wipe with a dry cloth, but I think I will hit the auto parts and get the squeegee.

Bad thing about the squeegee is the mess on your floor and down your stand afterwards. I used the squeegee once and it is in my laundry room now collecting dust.

 

[DrHank]

If you ever try it again, the trick is to hold a paper towel below it as you go. Takes a little time to get the hang of it but it works like a champ.

I use a Squeegee that I got at an auto parts store and plain water. Works great and only takes a minute.

thats what i do... sponge then squeegee it off clean in a matter of a minute

windex too, gets it the cleanest. I wold def spray it on cloth first not on glass and just be carefull

I use the little kid that touched my tank in the first place!
LOL, no really i use water or glass cleaner. Always spray on towel first and use newspaper to dry streak free.

That's what a large trigger or puffer is for. Just tell the little kid to put a finger in the water so the pretty fish can kiss it. The kid won't get near the tank again. Works well with adults also! LOL
A "little" windex, or some non sudsing ammonia applied to papertowel works well for me.

I used to use Isopropyl alcohol, great for freshwater tanks, but I don't know about salt.

I use SHAKLEE cleaner so I checked special cleaner. Shaklee products are all bio degradable and the products dont make you sick if you digest them. They will not hurt the tank or inhabitants. I keep this product in the house and feel safe because I do daycare in my home and it is State Licensing approved. I dont have to worry about what ay happen if children decide to take a drink. I spray it right on the glass and dont have to worry.

For everyone using Windex, try using a piece of newspaper instead of a paper towel. Seems to give it a little extra shine...

 

[PEMfish]

Anyone that uses vinegar Wipe with fine rag once to avoid streaks. Yeah, I had to one up you Octoman.

 

[Dentoid]

I spray the ole Windex on a cloth, away from the tank, then wipe it down.

 

[sasquatch]

So, How do you clean that stuborn salt?

Lol PEM! I just rustle up a cow and say saltlick! are you talking about salt on the view panes or salt creep in annoying places? Steve

 

[BigAl07]

I also apply to the cloth AWAY from the tank... remember ANYTHING in the air has a good probability to get into the tank.

I wipe it down w/ a damp rag then buff it dry w/ a dry terry cloth.
