Start the Year Fresh with Cleaner Glass

We’ve all been there. Your glass is so dirty, you know it’ll take forever to clean, so you keep putting it off. “It’s fine for one more,” then another “just one more.” But how many times can you really say “one more time”? Resin cleaning doesn’t have to be hard.

A new year is the perfect chance for a fresh start, and what better way to kick it off than with the best session you’ve ever had? Dirty glass doesn’t just look bad—it ruins the flavor, airflow, and overall vibe of your experience. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your journey, clean glassware is the unsung hero of every amazing session. Sure, there are plenty of ways to clean your glass, but as enthusiasts ourselves, we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience. So let’s talk not just about how to clean your glass, but why it matters—and how just a couple of products like Black Label and Resin Guard can make it faster, easier, and better than ever. This year, say goodbye to resin buildup and hello to better, cleaner hits.

How Resin Build-Up Happens—and Why It’s Such a Pain

Resin: you love using it, but hate cleaning it. It’s sticky, stubborn, and can feel overwhelming to tackle, especially if you’re new to the game. Cleaning your glass after using flower can be very different from resin cleaning, and the differences can leave even  the most experienced of us frustrated.

Over time, each session leaves behind tiny amounts of resin and tar that build up inside your glassware. Before you know it, those sleek, clear surfaces are clouded, and airflow feels restricted.

The hidden issue? That sticky residue traps terpenes—the flavorful compounds responsible for the taste and effects of your herb. Instead of enjoying fresh, crisp hits, you’re stuck with a stale, burnt taste that can ruin even the best session. And the longer you put off cleaning, the worse it gets.

We get it: cleaning can feel like a hassle. But ignoring the problem only makes it harder in the long run. The good news? There are plenty of ways to clean your glass, and some are easier than others! Let’s talk about our favorite way to get that dirty bong sparkling again—using Randy’s Black Label glass cleaner.

Look, nobody loves scrubbing glass for hours. But keeping your piece clean doesn’t have to suck—it can actually be quick and painless. Here’s your go-to guide for getting your glassware looking brand-new without breaking a sweat:

Step 1: Prep Your Piece
First things first, take apart your setup. Remove anything detachable like bowls or downstems, and dump out that questionable leftover water. No judgment here, we’ve all been there.

Step 2: Soak with Black Label
Now it’s time for the magic. Pour some of Randy’s Black Label into your piece, making sure it touches every nook and cranny. The best part? You don’t need to wait around. Those scrubbing particles in Black Label do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Step 3: Cover and Shake
Plug any openings (trust us, spillages are a buzzkill) and give your piece a solid shake. Black Label’s scrubbing particles are like tiny cleaning ninjas, breaking down tar and resin so you can skip the elbow grease.

Step 4: Scrub the Stubborn Spots

Step 5: Rinse and Shine

Step 6: Prevent Build-Up with Resin Guard
Want to keep it clean for longer? Replace your regular water with Randy’s Resin Guard. This food-grade formula forms a protective barrier that stops resin from sticking, so you can go longer between deep cleans.

Resin cleaning doesn’t have to be hard. So do yourself a favor, Spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying. Randy’s cleaning solutions make it ridiculously easy to keep your glass looking as fresh as the day you got it.

Common Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

Even with top-tier products like ours, a few rookie moves can make cleaning your glass more of a hassle than it needs to be. Don’t worry—we’ve got your back. Here’s what not to do:

Mistake #1: Boiling Your Glass
Sure, boiling might sound like a quick fix, but it’s actually a recipe for disaster. High heat can weaken or crack your glass—especially those fragile, artistic pieces. And let’s be real, boiling doesn’t even handle resin as well as Randy’s Black Label. Skip the pot of water and stick with a solution that’s built for the job.

Mistake #2: Skipping Regular Cleaning
Procrastination: the silent killer of glassware. The longer you wait, the nastier that resin buildup gets, making it ten times harder to clean. Use Black Label regularly, and you’ll keep your gear fresh without the headache of scrubbing through layers of gunk. Future you will thank you.

Mistake #3: Ignoring Prevention
Why clean more than you have to? Seriously—give Resin Guard a try. Swapping out your regular water for this genius formula creates a protective barrier that stops resin from sticking in the first place. Less buildup means less resin cleaning, which means more time doing literally anything else.

Avoid these rookie mistakes, and you’ll see how simple maintaining your glass can be. Trust us—it’s easier to keep it clean than to rescue it after weeks (or months… yikes) of neglect.
