Can anyone advise me pls what he has used excellently in the past or currently as a substitute for the solvents (xylene & acetone) in the cleaning of laboratory glassware containing crudeoil, stickies and distillates. Appreciate if you also tell me where to get information.

Are you concerned about toxicity or flammability?

I am concerned mostly about toxicity. At the same time should be suitable to get rid of oil and stains

Ensolv is the best solution to your situation being non-flammable, with a high solvency power and leaving no residue. Go to www.frasertech.com

I have three questions:
What is the volume of laboratory glassware that has to be cleaned? If this is substantial, then an automatic washing system, using detergent, would both avoid the solvent and eliminate exposure.
Are you using xylene and acetone mixed, or separately?
At present how is the cleaning being carried out? Is it in a fume cupboard or other controlled environment, or as I observed the other day, at an open sink?

A Laboratory glass washing machine that goes to 90 deg C would be my choice, but they are expensive. You can add a nought to the price of a domestic dishwasher.
Ensolv looks like n-propyl bromide. In 2004 ACGIH posted a notice of intended new TLV entry of 10 ppm.
