Cleaning solutions and related methods for cleaning and removing stains and residues from items and surfaces such as laboratory equipment and surfaces uses cleaning solutions containing from about 25 wt % to about 99 wt % of a liquid sulfoxide and from about 1 wt % to about 75 wt % of a base-water solution. A variety of bases can be used in the base-water solution so long as the base-water solution has a pH of at least about 8. The cleaning solutions are particularly fast and effective in cleaning stains caused by biological staining reagents and solutions. A preferred embodiment of the cleaning solution contains between about 80 wt % liquid sulfoxide, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and between about 10 wt % and about 20 wt % base-water solution, such as a 4.5% potassium hydroxide-water solution.
