Well, plain old vinegar will remove stains, but you will also want something that disinfects but isn't toxic for your cham. A diluted bleach solution will do that. Make up a solution of 10 parts water to 1 part bleach. Do not mix the vinegar with the bleach!! Maybe every other cleaning use one or the other.

Using a damp rag or paper towel won't always work when it comes to molded food particles or even feces. My carpet chameleon (I call him Rango), has been around from past few months and is doing fine in his glass cage. I prefer glass cage to screened cage as it would maintain the heat and humidity. But these days the glasses are turning bit hazy and stained. I tried cleaning it as mentioned in this blog (https://www.clerawindows.com/blog/best-way-to-clean-windows/). I also tried vinegar, cleansers and water. I understand that a neat and clean environment is a pre-requisite for the well being of my pet. Can anyone suggest measures for the regular maintenance of my pets dwelling. Please don’t suggest me to change glass to some mesh cages. I love enjoying his colors through the glass.

Use osmosis water for spraying instead of tab water?
The stains are probably from the calcium sticking to the glass and can be pretty hard to clean so you want to prevent them from getting on there in the first place.
On my chameleon cage I don't have a lot of cleaning...
I check for poop daily but I guess most of it get's washed of in the 18 minutes total that the enclosure gets misted every day before I get to it.
So I mostly only have to remove dead leaves and dead bugs and give the floor a good wipe with some paper towels.
