I use a very weak bleach solution and it doesn't leave any residue, but I also rinse a lot. I clean the outside with windex sprayed on a rag then clean outside glass.

I think that the trick rinsing a lot. No matter what type of cleaner you use. As long as it's rince well and any smell is gone I think it's safe then.

Lemon Juice and a paper towel.

And you can water down the vinegar to 10 - 25% easily. Newspaper leaves no streaking. Let it air dry. Fan it some to 'flush' out the fumes (good idea no mater what cleaner you use).

Nolvasan is a cleaning agent that I've heard quite a few people mention over the last couple of years. However, I've always just used a dilute bleach solution and plenty of rinsing.

Plain vinegar, full strength. Then wipe it off with a paper towel, coffee filter, or newspaper. Then go through the same process with plain hydrogen peroxide to disinfect.

This combination is food grade and is so safe I even spray my fruits and vegetables with it before rinsing them.

It's still a good idea to air out the tank after the vinegar though. Vinegar fumes aren't toxic, but they can be irritating.
