Acid washing it should do. I assume you are in a lab...in which case a 1:1 Hydrochloric Acid solution can be poured into the flask. DON'T FORGET TO PUT GOGGLES AND GLOVES ON. Put the lid on. Shake the flask and turn it to ensure all surfaces of the glass inside are being washed with the acid. Then, give it a good triple rinse with de-ionized water.

If you are just at home, pour in some white vinegar and let it sit for a while. That should break up anything that's inside.

Rinse the volumetric flask twice with the solution that you about to fill it with, stopper the opening and shake the flask so that all surface area inside the flask will be covered. This is so that the solution will not be diluted or contaminated when poured into the flask.

You want to rinse them out several times with distilled water, and if you need to clean it with a brush you take a normal cleaning brush you use for beakers and bend it so that it can reach the sides of the erlenmeyer flask. The easiest way to quickly dry an erlenmeyer flask is to blow air into them.

What is the use of the beaker in science laboratory?

A beaker in the science laboratory is a simple cylindrical container with a flat base, and importantly, a beak formed at the lip to simplify pouring fluid from the container. Hence the name beaker.If the beaker is too full for easy pouring, a clean glass rod may be held across the lip of the beaker, extending beyond the point of the beak, and the fluid will cleanly flow down the rod.


How do you create a solution?

Use really clean equipment. Heat some water in a beaker so that it will dissolve more solute. Dissolve all that it will hold, to make sure add excess. Decant the liquid into another beaker allow no crystals to be transferred to the new beaker. Allow to cool slowly. Do not agitate. The cool solution will be supersaturated.
