I don't know if it is safe .. but i dont think the chemicals in the glass cleaner can be that good ...

I would recommend either just soapy water and some kitchen towel or vinegar and water mixture ... i just feel thats a safer alternative

I think most class cleaner uses ammonia which would be a no no in my book to use with snakes........ use warm soapy water & when dry polish with a sheet of newspaper, no polish, just newspaper, it leaves the glass sparkling.... :wink:

See im a lazy man..i have the washin up bowl [so hot water and fairy liquid] ready to do the dishes, i take a t-towel and dip it in, wash the glass [havin taken them off the runners and leant them on my knee edgeways] I then use my spray bottle to rinse them then use a 2nd t-towel to dry them ,they always look lovely.

I always use glass cleaner Andy and have never had a problem with it mate.Just make sure that you polish it up to a dry state with a fresh piece of kitchen roll and you should be ok

I think it all depends on what glass cleaner it is!!!(sounds stupid, I know), but I'm pretty sure the normal stuff you get in the shops will be fine, as long as its all cleaned off propally. The strong stuff we used to use at the resturant would probally do some damage!!

I know there is a glass cleaner, for fish tanks, you just apply a lil bit on the glass and then wipe it off with tissue, But i can't remember what it is called
