Hydrogen peroxide is extremely useful. It's also probably the cheapest and most ecologically-friendly oxidising agent other than air/oxygen gas.

Heat is probably the best choice for organics. I once worked at a lab analyzing among other things CHC and dioxin emissions using GC-MS. As I'm sure
you can imagine these were extremely low concentrations, even after concentrating several liters of sample down to a few ml's of extract. All
glassware in the lab was cleaned in a dishwasher with a very strong detergent, rinsed with distilled water and burned overnight at 400°C.
Must have cost a fortune as equipment routinely broke during the process. And we're not just talking beakers here, graduated flasks, pipettes, custom
gas sampling equipment, soxhlet extractors, everything was treated this way.
We're not banging rocks together here. We know how to put a man back together.
