Default cleaning glass accomodation

I know lots of people keep amphibs in Exo Terra type tanks. I've noticed that when I spray regularly, the inside of the glass gets dirty quite quickly, and needs more than just a wipe down to clean it properly. What's the best thing to use to clean the inside of the glass, and how often should it be done?

If I'm cleaning out a fish tank a slice of lemon works really well, I have the same problem with my exo but I think lemon would be dangerous :/ Unless there's a way of then wiping that off.

I just use kitchen towel and water from the viv to give it a quick wipe down, then a dry piece of kitchen towel to dry it and stop the steaks/water marks staying.

i use boiling hot water pour it on a thickly folded kitchen towel and wipe all the glass with it then wipe it dry with another kitchen towel.

Doesn't stay clean for long though
