Introduction
Recenly I wanted to isolate some ascorbic acid (Vitamin C or chemically - $\ce{C6H8O6}$). I've put the filtered solution (I had to filter it because of the binder) in a flask and heated it. It didn't go as planned because then I didn't know that ascorbic acid decomposes at high temperatures, but I still decided to keep the product of the reaction. I left it on a hotplate at a high temperature and it all went back to carbon because it was there for too long (It was dehydrated).
The cleaning agent that I know of - $\ce{NaOH}$
I used a saturated solution of $\ce{NaOH}$ to clean it but there were still some flakes stuck on the wall that I couldn't reach.
It worked well for me - cleaned ~90% of the residue.
The question
Are there any other cleaning agent that'll work better than aqeous Sodium Hydroxide?
