To decontaminate sulfur containing compounds (thiols, sulfides, sulfones, sulfoxides), just rinse with bleach. Household bleach will work perfectly.

Dear members,
 
Hope the Summer is finding you well and somewhat rested(?). A question came from  our sister school re:  working with Ethane dithiol in a glove box. Any thought on this? Also  what kind of  decontamination procedures for glassware before disposing?  We usually find glass only boxes full of smelly broken glass and our custodial group  would refuse to remove them.
 
Again thank you so much for any thought you may have.   Continue doing great work and enjoying the last of Summer.   
 
Best wishes
