Can I clean my crested gecko's terrarium with vinegar or do I need special cleaners?

Question

I have friend who as a question regarding Crested Geckos. She wants to know if you can clean the terrarium and all things with vinegar or does she have to buy the cleaning sprays?

You can clean the terrarium with a diluted vinegar mixture but you have to make sure the smell is completely gone before putting the geckos back in it. I suggest this protocol: 1. Spray glass tank with a 50-50 vinegar water solution. Wait 5 minutes. 2. Dry the tank with paper towels and then spray tank with just water. Wait 2 minutes. 3. Dry the tank and wait 30 minutes. The same goes for the items inside the terrarium. The smell of the vinegar is the problem.
