Better still to use clean rainwater from a water but for both spraying your plants and for the toads to swim in.
    The terrarium has a large water dish

    While I agree that chlorine and the chloramines are not desirable. What is in you tap water is not going to cause any immediate or longterm harm if used occasionally straight from the tap. And as asked by the OP, a spray bottle that formerly contained tap water is not going to be any issue at all. Tap water is not a death sentence, but I agree not desirable for long term use.

    I have a friend that brings me spring water for mine. If forced to use tap water i treat it with Exo Tera's Aquatize first and let it stand for a few hours first.
