The reason of making this thread is to share the knowledge about cleaning your lab equipment. I am curious how you guys are doing it and possibly we can learn something from each other.
For me, i am cleaning everything soapless, loads of warm/cold tap water and rinse everything with demineralised water. The Freebase DMT residue left in de glass vessel after the freeze participate and scraping it out, i rinse with some vinegar and hot water and then rinse it again with demineralised water.
For drying, i first try to shake out as much of the water droplets as i can and then place everything at the wall with a fan blowing over it. Only when everything is absolutely dry i continue with storage of the equipment.
For storage i use aluminium foil to cover (big) glassware for contamination (dust etc) and everything small enough i put in large ziplock bags in order (glass with glass, magnets with magnets, stainless steel tools with stainless steel) you get my drift.
The 'extraction' desk i clean with hot water and bleach and rinse it afterwards with water.
I'm curious if i can learn some cool techniques from the professionals
to make my life somewhat easier.
