We don't like to use conditioner if we don't have to, to soften the water without using chemicals (the safest way) you can add peat media to your filter, driftwood, or a reverse osmosis unit for the water. These methods won't put chemicals in your water.

I use a paper towel and do a quick wipe about once a week.
