BOROBUDDY WATERPIPE MAGNETIC GLASS CLEANER - SNOWTREE

Learning about the BoroBuddy's parts helps show why every glass owner should have one. Each feature is designed for a better, safer cleaning experience.

What Makes The Borobuddy A Smart Investment?

The BoroBuddy is a complete system designed for glass care. Its features solve the problems that other cleaning methods have, giving you clear results in just minutes.

How Does It Clean Percolators And Narrow Necks?

Cleaning percolators and bongs with narrow necks is where the BoroBuddy really performs. The small internal scrubber fits through most openings and can be guided into complex perc chambers. By moving the outer handle in slow circles, you make the inner pad spin and scrub away grime from slits and showerheads that are otherwise impossible to reach. This focused scrubbing is much more effective than just soaking your piece.

Should I Choose The Original Or Mini Borobuddy Size?

This product is the original BoroBuddy, designed for use in most bongs, beakers, and rigs. For very small pieces like dab rig downstems or hand pipes, the BoroBuddy Mini (sold separately) offers a smaller scrubber. For most standard water pipes with glass up to 7mm thick, this original size gives you the perfect amount of power and coverage.

Getting a spotless clean with the BoroBuddy is easy. Just follow these steps for the best results and to keep your glass piece safe during cleaning.

What Is The Step-By-Step Cleaning Process?

1. Rinse It Out: First, rinse your bong with warm water to wash away loose debris or ash. This is an important step to prevent trapped particles from scratching the glass.
2. Add Solution: Pour out the rinse water and add your favorite glass cleaning solution or a mix of isopropyl alcohol and salt. To seal openings during soaking, use silicone cleaning plugs .
3. Drop It In: Carefully place the small interior scrubbing pad inside your water pipe.
4. Connect and Guide: Bring the larger magnetic handle near the outside of the glass. The magnets will connect through the glass wall.
5. Scrub Away: Slowly slide the outer handle across the surface. The interior pad will follow, scrubbing off resin. Use gentle, circular motions for percolators.
6. Final Rinse: Once clean, guide the pad to the mouthpiece, remove it, and rinse your glass piece well with warm water.

When picking a cleaning method, it's good to compare your options. The BoroBuddy is a unique, reusable tool compared to older methods that rely on soaking or harsh scrubbing.

How Does It Compare To Brushes Or Alcohol Soaks?

Taking good care of your BoroBuddy will make it last longer and ensure it's always ready to use. Keeping the pads clean is the most important step.

How Do I Clean And Store The Borobuddy Pads?

After each use, rinse the fabric scrub pad under warm, soapy water to remove resin and cleaning solution. Squeeze it out and let it air dry completely before putting it away. Storing the pad wet can cause mildew. Always keep the two magnetic pieces apart from each other and away from metal objects or electronics. Replace the pad when it looks worn out or doesn't clean well anymore.

Using a powerful tool like the BoroBuddy works very well, but it's important to follow best practices to protect your glass.

What Safety Checks Prevent Scratching The Glass?

The most important rule to prevent scratching is to always pre-rinse your piece with water. This flushes out hard bits like ash that could get trapped between the pad and the glass. When you connect the magnets, be gentle—don't let them slam together. While cleaning, use smooth, gliding motions. If you feel any grinding, stop right away, separate the magnets, and check for debris. The BoroBuddy is completely safe for quality borosilicate glass when used with care.

6-Point Safe Use Checklist

1. Always pre-rinse to remove loose grit.
2. Use enough liquid so the pad glides easily.
3. Connect magnets gently through the glass.
4. Move slowly , especially around delicate percs.
5. Stop if you feel resistance and check for debris.
6. Clean the pad after every use.
