How To Clean Your Glass Piece
How To Clean Your Glass Piece
It's that time again! After a few good smoke seshes it's always a good idea to clean your favorite piece. Let's go over one of the best ways to make sure that bad boy is nice and clean for the next time you light up!
Here's What You’ll Need:
-
Rubbing Alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol) 70% or higher
-
Cooking Salt or Epsom Salt
-
Ziplock Bags
-
Rubber Bands
Step 1- Take your piece apart
Completely disassemble your piece- We want to clean every single nook and cranny! For example for your bongs you'll want to place your downstem, bowl, and ash catcher into their own individual bags.
Step 2- Add Hot Water
Run some hot water through your piece and shake off any loose stuff left over. The heat will also help loosen the sticky resin for the next steps! Be sure to empty out all of the hot water from the piece once you're done shaking everything out.
Step 3- Add Salt
Pour that chunky salt into the base of your bong or rig, and into each of your individual bags. This course salt is going to be used to get into every little crevice of your piece.
Step 4- Add Alcohol
Add your alcohol or iso (the higher the percentage strength the better) You will want to fill your bong or rig about halfway up your base, leaving some room for the mixture to shake around. Then cover the mouthpiece with a ziplock bag and secure it tightly with a rubber band. Now don't forget your other pieces in the individual bags! You'll want to pour enough alcohol in to completely submerge the piece.
Step 5- Shake It Up
Your read that right, shake that bad boy up! Shake it up, down, and all around! Shake it until that alcohol and salt mixture has gotten every single little spec of gross off your glass.
Step 6- Rinse
When everything is sparkling clean, go ahead and remove the ziplock bag and rubber band seal and rinse thoroughly with clean cool water to get all of the alcohol and salt mix out. Believe me, you don't want to skimp on the rinsing- no one wants to taste any lingering iso in their dabs.
Step 7- Enjoy
