Cleaning acrylic

Hello,

I'm getting ready to clean an acrylic tank and I just want to make sure I dont scratch it too much. I bought some micro-fiber type cloths but they were cheap(100% cotton). I'm not for sure if windex is alright but I'll look into that before I try.

Just wanted to run that by to make sure it all sounds good. This is my first acrylic tank. It's really pretty clean except for the paintball shots it took sitting out by a dumpster.

Thanks,
-Andy

So a quick google search makes using windex or other abrasive cleaners a bad idea. Soap and lots of water.

windex is not recommened for acrylic it is also not for window tint cause it may scratch it as well. Their are alot of cleaners available for acrylic if you do a search for it youll fine them
