    Re: Cooktop Cleaner

    I assume the white buildup is from the snake rubbing on the glass?

    When I clean the habitats I use Simple Green then rinse with clear water on a cloth.

    No, white build up from being used as an aquarium. We have hard water here in NJ, and the tank we have was used as a turtle tank by our friends, so the water line was just about halfway up the tank. The buildup usually occurs not where the tank is wet constantly, but at the water line and above. It's the same buildup that our shower doors get, and skylights, and greenhouses/sunrooms.

    Ok now I see.

    I am on a well and have good sweet water small amount of minerals and the ph at 7.1. I use my hot tub tester.

    I do use Lime away once a year in the tub but I don't think that would be a good idea on a habitat

    As long as you remember this rule, you would be fine.

    step 1. Rinse thoroughly with warm water
    step 2 repeat step one
    step 3 see above.

    I clean glass with all sorts of stuff, including CLR, Bleach and glass cleaners. But then I rinse until my hands look like prunes.

    Set the tank in your bath tub, and shower the daylights out of it. We have one of those showers with a hose on the head, so I take the head down, and rinse away.
