Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

Ashtray Cleaning

Empty It Out + Remove Silicone

Start by emptying your Ashtray. Give it a gentle tap to get rid of any loose ash or debris. Next separate the Silicone Lid, Silicone Footer and Debowler from the Glass Body of the Ashtray. ** You can toss the Debowler if you plan on replacing it with a new one.
Rinse with Warm Water

Rinse the Ashtray and it's pieces under warm water to loosen any residue. This simple step makes the actual cleaning process much easier.
Time To Soak

Grab a Tupperware or a bowl and fill it with a small amount of Session Goods Cleaning Solution (or Rubbing Alcohol and coarse salt). Place the glass body in this bowl and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty your Ashtray has gotten. ** If you're keeping the same Debowler, you can also soak your debowler at this step.
Scrub Gently

While your glass body is soaking, use the Cleaning Swabs from your Cleaning Kit or a soft cloth/sponge with a bit of mild dish soap to scrub your Ashtray's silicone lid, and silicone footer. Focus on any areas with built-up residue. Keep it gentle to avoid scratching or damaging the silicone.
Tackle Stubborn Spots

For those stubborn spots, use a q-tip or the Cleaning Swab if you're utilizing the Session Goods Cleaning Kit and dip it in the Cleaning Solution or Rubbing Alcohol, those will get those out no problem.
Rinse and Dry

Once it’s looking spotless, rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove any residue. Dry it with a soft towel or let it air dry.
Put It Back Together

Once it’s dry, put your Silicone Footer, Debowler, Glass Body, and Silicone Lid all back together so your Ashtray is ready for it's next session.

Stash Jar Cleaning

Empty the Jar + Separate Silicone

Remove any contents from the Stash Jar and set them aside in a clean, dry, and safe place. Separate the Silicone Lid and Silicone Base from the Glass Body.
Rinse with Warm Water

Rinse the glass body with warm water to remove any loose debris or residue.
Wash with Soap

Similar to the Ashtray, grab a Tupperware or a bowl and fill it with a small amount of Session Goods Cleaning Solution (or Rubbing Alcohol). Place the glass body in this bowl and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty your Stash Jar has gotten.
Cleaning the Silicone

Use the Cleaning Swabs from your Cleaning Kit or a soft cloth/sponge with a bit of mild dish soap to scrub your Stash Jar lid, and base. Focus on any areas with built-up residue. Keep it gentle to avoid damaging the silicone.
Rinse and Dry

Rinse the glass body thoroughly with warm water to remove any cleaning solution or rubbing alcohol. Dry it completely with a soft towel or let it air dry to avoid any moisture build-up.
Complete the Ritual

Now it's dry, put your Silicone Base, Glass Body, and Silicone Lid all back together. Time to put your pieces back in the base and your stash back in the body so your Stash Jar is ready for it's next session.

Keep It Fresh

To maintain that clean vibe, give your ashtray and stash jar a quick rinse weekly. It’s an easy habit that keeps things fresh and hassle-free.
