dont quote me on this but I believe a safe cleaning soultion is 5% bleach to 95% water is safe if after rinsed completely it is let to air dry. Ive read it before for other herps. They also sell this 'reptile safe' terrarium spray cleaner stuff. Ive seen it only once though so I dont know how popular it is. For now you could try a regular dish detergent and clean and rinse well. Let air dry as well.

using 5% bleach is the best method,ive also used glass cleaner but you have to go over it after it dries with just plain water to make sure you got it all but bleach works much better
