Well, thank you very much, Mister Plexiglas Chatterbox!!!

As for the vermitorium, I polish it with the pelts of escaping hamsters.

I clean mine with a mild soap and water and then polish with Pledge. the furniture polish. This will remove fine scratches. Works for me.

Teepol does a good job with a foam pad.

If you don't have a water softener on your home, soft water will remove buildup without the use of any soaps. Soft water will do what hard water doesn't and most of your detergents and soaps and toothpaste are designed to counter the issues with hard water. The same process that causes water to become hard is why soft water is such a good solvent on it's own.
