Hi folks, I have two old type Burettes, that I do not seem to be able to clean. They have grease marks on the in side of the Burettes. I have tried warm soapy water, HCL diluted. Perhaps I should give up and throw them away.
They would be great as spare's.

Cleaning Burettes
Hi All,
I would intend to use a solution of Oxalic Acid and keep it in for at least a week.
If this does not work try using Conc. Sulfuric and keep this acid in the burettes for a week also.
It is certainly worth a try.
Hope this helps,
Robb.....

Burette cleaning
Hi Pommie,
Did you know you can buy burette brushes? I got mine from Q Stores some time ago now so I'm not sure if they still keep them.
If you can't find one I'll send you one of mine.
Cheers
