The safest way to clean glass is with soap and water (leaves no residue). However, if this isn't working, use what is referred as a BASE BATH. This is usually, KOH dissolved in isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). You let it soak in an alkali solution for a little while (depends on how much gunk is on it) then make sure to wash it with soap and water again.
Acid baths are sometimes used. But base baths work better on glass.

No, it is not safe to use a household glass cup to measure muriatic acid. Muriatic acid is a highly corrosive substance that can cause damage to glass and release harmful fumes. It is recommended to use a chemically resistant measuring cup or container made of plastic or glass specifically designed for handling acids.
Yes muriatic acid does not have any affect on glass and once the glass has been rinsed out with water it is suitable to drink from again.
Because acids are corrosive, so they eat up metal containers, but not glass ones.
Glass pH electrodes are generally not recommended for use with muriatic acid or solutions with low pH as they can deteriorate and lead to inaccurate readings. It is best to use a specialized electrode such as a combination or ISFET pH electrode that is designed for measuring low pH solutions.
Hydrochloric acid is a common name for muriatic acid.
No, it is homogeneous.
One gallon of muriatic acid weighs approximately 9 pounds, and it typically contains about 31-38% hydrochloric acid. To calculate the weight of dry acid in one gallon of muriatic acid, you would need to consider the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the solution.
Hydrochloric acid (muriatic is a word from middle age !) doesn't eat carbon fiber.Carbon is not soluble in acids.
