A hot test tube should be left to cool before washing to prevent it from cracking due to sudden temperature changes, known as thermal shock. This can occur when hot glass is exposed to cool water, causing uneven expansion and contraction of the material. Letting the test tube cool gradually reduces the risk of damage.
