How to Clean Your Glass

Maintaining your glass is crucial for both flavor and the longevity of the piece. Here is the definitive guide to keeping your rig spotless.

First, always use 99% isopropyl alcohol. Lower concentrations contain water which reduces the solvent's effectiveness against reclaim and resin. Add coarse salt to act as an abrasive. For bongs, plug the holes and shake vigorously. For delicate rigs with complex percs, soak them rather than shaking aggressively.

For quartz bangers, cleanliness is even more critical to prevent chazzing. Always use a cotton swab after every single dab while the quartz is still warm. Never heat a dirty banger red hot, as this bakes the carbon into the quartz, permanently clouding it. With regular maintenance, your pieces will look as good as the day you bought them.
