    I do the same as jakeh24, a wet paper towel and a dry one and a little of elbow grease. Some ppl here like to use Windex, some spray it straight to the glass, while other say they spray it in another room and clean. I dont like using any chemicals around my tank.

    Windex leaves a nasty film on the glass after so long.....Never thought about the Mr Clean....I use a M.F. and sometimes just paper towel's....The M.F. will leave scratches though so I try to avoid it...but I am lazy as hell so....

    Magfloat on the inside and windex + towel on the outside. I normall just spray the windex on the paper towel itself a distance away and wipe. Not afraid of windex "accidentally" getting in my tank.

    I usually use Invisible Glass or Windex. I spray it on the papertowel first, not on the glass. Works wonderfully.
