First, a beaker is not a great choice for thing to use, as it has a large area open to the air and therefore provides much more opportunity for dust to enter than when working with small necked bottles, such as large vials.
As for washing such a vial for reuse, I use multiple rinses of 90% isopropyl alcohol and then drain out nearly all of it (it's not necessary to get the last trace out.) However if preferring it dry, it's acceptable to stand it upside down on a sterile cotton gauze, with the underside of the gauze being on what was the inside of its packet, and let stand till dry.

try to find some liquinox soap, that is what real labs use to watch such instruments. you want to rinse the final rinse with distilled or de-ionized water. The next step would be to preferable autoclave the glassware but you probably don't have access to such equipment.

You want to use isoproypl alcohol, let it dry, then heat the items in an oven to sterilize again. Let them cool, then wipe them down with isoproypl alcohol again.
Sounds good enuff
