    No, the inside is best cleaned with a wash of hydrofluoric acid. It can dissolve the glass taking the contaminants away with it. Make sure you get the plates clean while you are at it.

      In case the censors are watching, my previous post is in jest. HF is fantastically dangerous. Do not try to use it to clean your tubes. Don't even try to buy the stuff.
