To clean off polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) from lab glassware, first rinse the glassware with warm water to dissolve the PVA, as it is water-soluble. If residue remains, soak the glassware in a solution of warm water and a mild detergent for 15-30 minutes. After soaking, scrub with a soft brush or sponge to remove any stubborn residues, and then rinse thoroughly with water. Finally, allow the glassware to air dry or dry with a lint-free cloth.
When you heat glassware in a drying oven, you are primarily removing absorbed water. Absorbed water is moisture that has penetrated the glass material itself, while adsorbed water is moisture that is held on the surface of the glass. The heat from the oven helps to evaporate the absorbed water, ensuring the glassware is dry and free from contaminants.
Glassware can be cleaned using warm soapy water, a mild detergent, and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry or use a lint-free cloth to dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can scratch the glass.
