My GH is wood and glass. I usually brush down with a stiff brush, then  spray with armillatox (diluted as per instructions) and let dry off.

Looking at the question again, I just realised this is your first season, so you're not trying to get rid of nesting spider mites/ any other diseases that might have developed, just need the glass & wood to be clean in the conventional sense.   I would use either window cleaning spray or washing up liquid with vinegar added.

Use disinfectant next time :)

look after your spiders, they are good friends  ;D as might be the odd hiding frog or toad (as in my g/h) so be careful about the harshness of cleaning products - I'd go for the water only option
