clorox green works. spray it on there let it sit for about 5 mins and with the rough side of the sponge it will come off. plus side is that its safe for the reptiles.

A plastic putty knife is handy for the toughest jobs. Wet the spot with cleaner or soap and water, let soak for a minute or two and it should come off with the putty knife and some gentle scraping.
Handi-Wipes are better than paper towels. Let the spot soak in the cleaner for a few minutes first.
I use Chlorohexadine solution (purchased from Pro Exotics) and it works fine.

i soak with warm/hot water or novasal and then use a spatula, putty knife works well too. the soaking is the key though, i have one cage i kept up on and it still is stained, wish i knew that before hand it would do this, maybe a teflon coating Jeff?? 
or special corner removers?
