    .... but not quite as an exact measurement.
    A bucket of warm water, a splash of bleach and a tiny drip of washing up liquid.
    Rinse well and thoroughly dry before setting back up.
    Be careful that there is no ammonia in your detergent. If you mix detergent with an ammonia component with bleach, you will instantly make ammonium chloride... a very poisonous gas!

    Then your detergent probably does not have ammonia in it.

    to be honest, there is such a tiny amount of both in a large bucket of water that its probably too watered down.

    I use a reptile housing cleaning spray after rinsing the tanks with plenty of water. A damp cloth works fine on the glass.
