I'm constantly getting water drips all over the front of my aquarium whenever I have to stick my hands in there, feeding, cleaning, water changes, which leaves streaks of salt down the glass. Cleaning it up immediately just smears it around. Even a vinegar solution doesn't really do it, streaks, but am hesitant to use a proper glass cleaner in fear of it getting in the tank.

I'm wondering how you all clean your glass?

I use Fritz Glass and Acrylic Cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
Seems to do a pretty good job.
I also used a cleaner meant for cleaning my plasma tv and a microfiber cloth, but ran out.

I use Kent glass cleaner/polisher along with cloth diaper which leave glass streak free.

I use RODI water with a small amount of vinegar and a micro fiber cloth.

You can use glass cleaner along with all of the other suggestions. I've been doing it forever with no issues.

Just be smart about it. I like to spray the paper towel facing away from the tank top instead of the glass directly

Having said that, I also sprayed the glass for years as well. Just low down and avoiding spraying into the open tank top...

I use the TUNZE glass cleaner. I also used sprayaway, for years with no issues. I just cover the aquarium with a towel. I don't spary in the room, but onto a microfiber towel, etc

Wipe dry with a soft dry towel and polish the haze away with a different soft dry towel. Simple alcohol works for cleaning glass but don't use the spray bottle. Just wipe on with a wet paper towel and dry with a dry paper toowel.
