Water spots on acrylic enclosures

Hello,
Does anyone have any advice on how to remove water spots on spider enclosures? I would never use chemicals. Is it even possible to remove the water spots? My enclosures for my high humidity group are looking bad. Thank you.

It's years since I rode motorbikes all year round as my sole mode of transport. But I do remember cleaning my visors with potatoes. The added advantage is it also leaves a clear waterproof layer behind, which stopped the visor misting up. So it should also stop the acrylic from staining again. Or at least slow up the problem.

The cleaning process is as simple as cutting a potato in half & rubbing the visor (enclosure) with the potato.
