Can You Put Your Softglass Silicone Bong in the Dishwasher?

When it comes to maintaining your Softglass silicone bong, one of the most common questions we encounter is: "Can I wash my Softglass in the dishwasher?" It's a valid question, given the convenience and efficiency of using a dishwasher for cleaning. Today, we'll delve into the answer and provide you with the best practices for keeping your Softglass in top condition.

Understanding Silicone Bongs

Before we dive into the specifics of dishwasher use, it's essential to understand what sets Softglass apart. Our silicone bongs are designed for durability and flexibility, made from high-quality, heat-resistant silicone. This material not only ensures a long-lasting product but also offers ease of cleaning and maintenance.

The Dishwasher Debate

Now, back to the main question: can you place your Softglass silicone bong in the dishwasher? The short answer is yes, the silicone that Softglass uses is dishwasher-safe. However, when it comes to the glass part of your piece, we highly recommend washing it by hand with salt and isopropyl alcohol.

Here’s why careful handling is important:
  • Glass Components: The glass elements of your Softglass bong require a gentler approach. The abrasive environment in a dishwasher can cause scratches or damage to the glass.
  • Targeted Cleaning: Handwashing with salt and isopropyl alcohol is particularly effective for glass parts, as it helps remove resin and build-up efficiently.
Best Practices for Dishwasher and Hand Cleaning

To ensure the best results and care for your Softglass, consider these tips:

  • Separate Components: Remove the glass parts from the silicone body before cleaning.
  • Dishwasher-Safe Silicone: Place the silicone part in the dishwasher, opting for a gentle wash cycle.
  • Handwash the Glass: Gently clean the glass parts with salt and isopropyl alcohol, ensuring thorough removal of residues.
  • Avoid High-Heat Drying: For the silicone part in the dishwasher, skip high-heat drying cycles to preserve its quality.
Conclusion

In summary, while the silicone part of your Softglass bong is dishwasher-safe, the glass elements should be cleaned by hand. This approach ensures that each part of your bong receives the care it needs, keeping it in pristine condition for your next use. With these cleaning methods, your Softglass will continue to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience.
