My best bet would be to heat the test tube to help evaporate the left over water. If for some reason it is a solid, that flush it out with water, then do the first step. The easiest way of drying test tubes would just be by turning it upside down in a test tube holder. Make sure you flush it out with distilled water though to get rid of any residues.
cotton plug on culture tube should be kept dry always to avoid contamination of the media by microorganisms which are suspended everywhere.

A thin, long brush called a 'test-tube brush'.
Anhydrous calcium chloride absorbs moisture from the air, causing the air inside the test tube to dry out. This can lower the humidity level inside the test tube.
Using a dry test tube for a Grignard reaction is important to prevent any unwanted reactions or side reactions from occurring due to the presence of water or other impurities. Grignard reagents are extremely sensitive to moisture and can react with water to form magnesium hydroxide, which can interfere with the desired reaction. It is essential to keep the test tube dry to ensure the success of the Grignard reaction.
Test tube racks are not sterile! Infact they are quite often some of the most contaminated lab tool. Therefore by using test tube racks to dry test tubes, you WILL contaminate your glassware, which will therefore corrupt any experimental data gathered with them. This is especially so in the areas of chemistry known as stochiometry and any prac in which temperature is an uncontrolled variable.
The brown colored gas that evolves when lead nitrate crystals are heated in a dry test tube is nitrogen dioxide.
If a nephrostomy tube comes out, you should cover the area with a clean, dry bandage immediately to prevent the leakage of urine. Contact your healthcare provider or go to the emergency room for further evaluation and to have the tube reinserted if necessary. Do not attempt to reinsert the tube yourself.
To clean test tubes, rinse them thoroughly with soap and water to remove any residue. Use a bottle brush or test tube brush to scrub the inside, rinse well with water, and then optionally rinse with a diluted acid solution to remove any stubborn residues. Finally, rinse the test tubes with distilled water and allow them to air dry upside down.

Sodium reacts violently with water, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. If a test tube is wet, the sodium metal could react with the water present, leading to a rapid release of hydrogen gas and potential splattering or even an explosion. Ensuring the test tube is dry helps to prevent this hazardous reaction from occurring.
While there are products on the market that claim to be able to clean your dry clean only clothes in your home dryer, this is not really dry cleaning. Due to the chemicals involved in dry cleaning, it is not possible to get a good clean without going to the dry cleaners. The chemicals are closely monitored by various environmental organizations and very expensive, so these "over-the-counter" dry clean products cannot work as well as dry cleaning.
