And, in the future use distilled or RO water to spray with and you wont get any water stains on your viv.

Ditto. I just make sure to rinse it off really well. If I'm cleaning glass in a viv with animals in there I wet paper towel with vinegar and scrub, then do the same with water. For totally stripping a tank down I spray and then rinse thoroughly.
