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.

EzraNo, 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.

Are glass pH electrodes compatible with muriatic acid or solutions?
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.
What is a common name for muriatic acid?
Hydrochloric acid is a common name for muriatic acid.
Is muriatic acid heterogeneous?
No, it is homogeneous.
One gallon of muriatic acid equals how many pounds of dry acid?
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.
Can muriatic acid eat carbon fiber?
Hydrochloric acid (muriatic is a word from middle age !) doesn't eat carbon fiber.Carbon is not soluble in acids.
