The small amount of acetic acid in vinegar will evaporate with the water
when used for cleaning glass. Realistically, when cleaning glass any
excess cleaner is removed with a dry cloth.

I share your concern about glass cleaners. Some contain vinegar. Here we
spend all the time to get acid-free materials, and then we get vinegar
that close to the print. Or doesn't it matter?
Well, I had to reframe a bunch of prints for a show, a few months back.
Some had been in these frames and behind glass for up to 10 years. I
have always used Windex to clean the glass. When I took the prints out,
I saw, what I would call 'fog' on the glass. A clear imprint of where
the print was, then a less fogged area around the border of the print,
and then nothing where the over-mat touched the glass. I took a picture
of it and can email that to who is interested.
Needless to say, I don't use Windex alone anymore. I clean the 'cleaned'
glass with distilled water afterwards, hoping to get the Windex residue
off. The alcohol idea should work to though.
