How do I clean crystal violet from a beaker?

I made a solution of crystal violet (gentian violet) in a glass container and it doesn't wash off. What can I use to clean it? If you have safe suggestions (not strong acids or something like that), it would be better. Thanks.

Splash some acetone in.





Basically you need to workout what it's soluable in and use that solvent.
