warm water and soap.
then isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is what i do.

I fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and just spray it on the beaker.
Isopropyl alcohol can be purchased at any pharmacy/market.

I do the same as this except after washing it in hot soapy water, I rinse it in distilled water and then alcohol

Good point, that's why I bake mine after, just to be sure!!

Yep. Wash with soap to get rid of any big stuff. Then isopropyl to more or less sterilize the surface. Some prefer to bake in the oven as well to kill anything leftover with dry heat as well as help evaporate the iso.

Yes that is what I was eluding to. Any iso in the glass will cause the gear to be very painful. Baking may kill anything left but the isopropyl should have done that already. My concern is getting all the iso to evap out.

I'm sad to say I'm speaking from experience. But everyone has a dumb ass moment from time to time
