How To do It ?

• Clean the equipment thoroughly with soap and
  water for basic cleaning. You may need to use a
  wire brush to remove some residue
• Boil purified water in the lab equipment to
  remove caked-on material like solidified agar or
  other gelatin-like products.
• Rinse with acetone to remove traces of organic
  materials including soap residue

• Rinse with ethanol to sterilize any lab equipment
  that must have all bacteria and other
  microorganisms removed before use.
• Rinse with an RNAse remover, such as RNAse
  Displace, if the equipment will be used in any
  DNA research, since RNAse can destroy your
  experiments

  executed experiments to yield inaccurate results.
• If the apparatus like glassware, used for
  measuring liquids is polluted with grease or
  other materials, it can prevent the glass from
  being wetted uniformly.

• it becomes imperative to keep the laboratory
  apparatus neat and clean, free of any bacteria or
  any grease.
• You should always wash your apparatus
  immediately after use. Soak the apparatus in
  water if you cant wash them immediately so as to
  remove the residue easily and avoid it to stick
  to the labware.
• You can use soap, cleaning powder, or detergent
  to wash the glass labware. For sternly dirty
  glassware, you can use cleaning powder with
  slight coarse action to get good cleaning
