Curious as to the processes/methods y'all use to keep your testing equipment clean and/or sanitized.

Currently, I rinse pipettes, vials, probes, etc, with hot tap water several times and allow to air dry. Rarely if ever do I rinse/clean items such as syringes/droppers that are repeatedly used for transferring tank water to be tested.

Do a majority of you employ more...substantive...techniques? Rinsing with rodi/distilled water, washing with cleansers/chemicals, wiping dry, etc? I'm not looking to run a FDA approved laboratory in my kitchen, just interested in what would be along the lines of standard housekeeping practices.
 

Going off the ledge: Would you be interested in a drop off aquarium?
