What You'll Need
- Isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher)
- Warm water
- Mild dish soap
- Soft cloth or paper towel
- Small soft-bristle brush (an old toothbrush works)
- Optional: coarse salt for stubborn resin
Step-by-Step Cleaning
- Empty the tray. Dump any loose flower, kief, or debris into a trash bin.
- Wipe the surface. Use a dry paper towel to remove loose particles.
- Mix a cleaning solution. Combine equal parts isopropyl alcohol and warm water in a bowl. Add one drop of mild dish soap.
- Apply the solution. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture and wipe the entire tray surface.
- Scrub sticky spots. Use a soft-bristle brush to work the solution into resin buildup. Use circular motions.
- Rinse the tray. Hold the tray under warm running water to remove soap and loosened residue.
- Dry the tray. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry all surfaces. Let it air dry for a few minutes.
Deep Cleaning for Stubborn Resin
- Pour pure isopropyl alcohol over the affected areas.
- Sprinkle coarse salt on top. The salt acts as a gentle abrasive.
- Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Scrub with a brush until resin lifts.
- Rinse and dry as above.
Material-Specific Tips
- Metal trays: safe for alcohol and salt.
- Plastic trays: avoid abrasive salt, use a soft cloth only.
- Silicone trays: wash with warm soapy water. Alcohol may degrade silicone over time.
- Wood trays: wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking.
How Often to Clean
Clean your rolling tray after every few sessions, or when you see visible resin. A quick wipe after each use prevents buildup.
