The glass and plastic objects can be cleaned with bleach and or acid, depending on whether any deposits on them are calcium carbonate or organic stuff. Both types of deposits should be fully removed.

It is much harder to clean live rock by cleaning it in acid and bleach baths that will dissolve off the outer surface. Live sand isn't worth keeping, IMO.
