Vinegar. Good idea!! Will that work for water marks?
Ive got mine in my bedroom too and you hear the odd thud in the night.

Claire has beaten me to it, lol (had a rubbish couple of days sorting out my paperwork & arguing with insurance companies)
I use exactly the same, vinegar on kitchen role. The acid in the vinegar (white works best) will break down the minerals of water marks, especially if you live in a ‘hard water’ area where the concentration of calcium & magnesium in the water is really high. Vinegar works much better than any ordinary cleaner – I even use it on shower heads & faucets!!
And Ailurus - the reason the lime scale was a bit built up in Cinnie’s cage is because I didn’t want do disturb her while she’s looking for a nesting spot _________________ Connie |

Wonderful stuff is vinegar, don't know how I'd live without it, and I agree, fantastic on shower heads. It has some medical uses as well, it's good on nettle rash and stings, I found that out as my teenage daughter doesn't seem to get on with wasps very well, and falls into everything including stinging nettles I also use the vinegar ont he car windscreen, does smell a little like a chip van for a while, but shifts the grease nicely, not to mention the nicotine _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

whenn you clean crestie vivs with it, do you have to clean it off again afterwards, so the tank doesnt smell? and also could it hurt their feet? _________________ Tom

I just wipe over with the vinegar on the kitchen roll, and then polish over it afterwards with a dry piece of kitchen roll, I've had no problems so far with any of my reps with the vinegar, and any slight residue evaporates away completely very quickly. I can't think of any reason why it would do any damage to their feet. They might slide off the glass more though when it's all shiny _________________ www.draco2.co.uk
