We use a bleach water mix with almost boiling hot water, it just comes out of the tap that way. We have a large dbl bay sink in the snake room, i fill it and leave the dishes in there for an hour or so, drian the water and then just wash the dishes regularly with soap and water, then i flip them over and let them dry on a rack, its quick and easy, and also while they are sitting in the sink you can be doing other things in the room while the bleach and water are doing the scrubbing for you
I also agree with what others have said it is a Calcium build up, I have used CLR on fish tanks and have reused them for fish with no ill effect, but i still dont know how comfortable i would feel using it for my snakes water dishes.
