FAQ:
Why is glass a better material compared to metal or plastic?
Glass is non-porous which means that dirt, grime or odours will not get trapped in the material and this also makes it really easy to clean with a range of cleaning products such as glass cleaning solutions (which can be found at: https://www.mybongshop.com.au/collections/bong-cleaning-supplies), isopropyl alcohol or dishwashing liquid. Glass is also heat resistant which means that it will not warp or melt when exposed to a flame or heat, this is particularly important in regards to plastic ashtrays as you want to avoid being exposed to toxic fumes.
How do I clean a glass ashtray?
It’s always best to empty and wipe your glass ashtray after every use, we recommend cleaning your glass ashtray thoroughly weekly with either a glass cleaning solution, isopropyl alcohol or dish washing liquid and warm water.
Follow these simple steps to properly clean your glass ashtray to extend its life:
- Fill a small sink or small kitchen container/bowl with warm water and rinse to loosen the grime and dirt from the glass surface of the ash tray
- Soak the glass ashtray in either a glass cleaning solution, isopropyl alcohol or dish washing liquid and warm water for about 10 minutes
- Wipe the surface of the ashtray with a cloth (avoid using abrasive cloths or scourers as these could scratch the glass) to fully remove the dirt.
- Rinse and allow the glass to air dry
Why use an ashtray at all?
The most important reason is safety and it's one that is easy to overlook until something goes wrong. An ember from a cigarette or joint can smoulder on a carpet or couch for a few minutes before igniting. An ashtray eliminates this risk by giving ash and embers a safe and contained place to cool down. Other than safety, an ashtray makes a noticeable difference to the smell of a room as ash left sitting on a plate or in a container spreads odour more than ash contained in an ashtray. It also keeps your setup clean and organised.
