Well for plexiglass one thing I have found that works well is Pledge
furniture polish. Cleans well and fills in the minor scratches that
handling causes. I double matt though when for what ever reason I do use
plexiglass to make sure that the residue doesn't come in contact with the
print. I haven't had a problem, but I also haven't "tested" it either.
YMMV

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.

clean the glass. Glass cleaners contain chemicals, commonly acids and
ammonia. I worry about their effect on the prints. Does anyone have good
information on this and what do you all do?
I clean mine using minimal amounts of glass cleaner where I must and rub as
much off as I possibly can, then leave the glass to dry off/ evaporate for a
day or two before use.
