I use muriatic acid on some things too and did use it to clean my halide glass a couple times (heavily diluted) but even diluted the stuff is nasty to work with. It hurts to breathe that stuff, so ventilation is something of a must, and disposable work gloves also a good idea because if you have any kind of cuts or scratches on your fingers and you get it into that, it's an unpleasant time. With that said though, man that stuff makes cleanup an easy breezey 1-2-3 kind of task. Like Tim said: "acid into water, not water into acid".
