BASIX Magnetic Glass Scrubber

The design of the scrubber leads to a more effective and safer cleaning experience compared to just shaking your piece with a cleaning solution.

The Basix Magnetic Scrubber isn't just a novelty; its features are designed to solve the most common frustrations with cleaning glassware.

How Strong Are The Magnets?

This scrubber uses powerful neodymium magnets that are strong enough to keep a secure connection through most standard scientific glass thicknesses. It is built to handle most bongs and rigs, including beaker bases and straight tubes, though extremely thick artisanal glass may challenge the connection.

Will The Cleaning Pad Scratch My Glass Bong?

The scrubber pad is designed to be non-abrasive on durable borosilicate glass. The main risk of scratching comes from trapping hard debris like ash between the pad and the glass. To prevent this, always rinse your piece thoroughly with warm water to remove loose particles before you start scrubbing. Use extra caution on pieces with delicate decals or frosted accents and test on a hidden area first.

Cleaning your piece is a simple process. For best results, use the scrubber with warm water and your favorite glass cleaning solution or a small amount of isopropyl alcohol.

1. Rinse Thoroughly: Empty your piece and rinse it with warm water to remove all loose ash and debris. This step is critical to prevent scratching.
2. Add Cleaning Liquid: Fill the piece with enough warm water or cleaning solution to cover the areas you plan to clean.
3. Insert the Scrubber: Carefully drop the smaller, internal part of the magnetic scrubber into your piece.
4. Couple the Magnet: Bring the larger, external handle near the glass wall where the internal piece is. The magnets will snap together.
5. Scrub Away Resin: Gently guide the handle along the outside of the glass. The internal piece will follow, scrubbing the resin from the inside.
6. Flush and Dry: Once clean, separate the magnets and remove the internal piece. Thoroughly rinse your glassware, then rinse the scrubber parts and let them air dry completely before storage.

How Do You Clean Percolators With This Tool?

For percolators, use small, deliberate movements. Guide the scrubber into the perc chamber and make short passes across the surfaces. You can often "flick" the internal magnet into tight spots by quickly moving the external handle. This allows you to clean inside showerheads and other complex percs without risking damage from shaking.

Proper care ensures your magnetic scrubber lasts a long time and is always ready for the next cleaning. Keeping the scrubbing pad clean is essential for performance and hygiene.

How Do You Sanitize The Magnetic Glass Scrubber?

After each use, immediately rinse both parts of the scrubber under warm, running water. You can use a mild soap or a bit of isopropyl alcohol on the pad to break down leftover resin. Gently scrub the pad with your fingers, rinse it again, and let both pieces air dry completely on a towel before storing.
