After treating with the acid, rinse, and then rinse/neutralize with a weak solution of ammonia. I would then clean with a mild detergent w/water, rinse, and allow to dry. Then coat the inside with a light motor oil, say 10 wt. if you can get it. To dispose of the used acid, dilute it with about 3 parts water, then add lime, baking soda, chipped limestone, marble, or concrete until nothing happens after two or three days. Then it's not acid anymore.
