Where are lab weights used?

As the name indicates, lab weights are designed for lab balances, as compared to industrial weights, which are heavier and suitable for harsher environment to use with industrial scales.

How should lab weights be cleaned?

If a weight contains significant amounts of dirt that cannot be removed with a brush or cleaning tissue, the weight or some part of it can be washed with clean alcohol or distilled water. After weights are cleaned with solvents, they must be stabilized.
