Using nail varnish remover to clean mason jars

[scorpion]

Acetone is fine imo, its a fast evaporating ketone just like alcohol is. Id just give it a good rinse.

Cheers Stokes will do

If you're still going to use Acetone (nail varnish remover), remove the rubber seal before you do the cleaning.

But as it is for "food" item, how about using cooking oil, on a cotton ball, and wipe the jar down that way? And wash it like any other dishes afterwards? If your hands are too big, how about using chopsticks or tongs of some sort?

May be it's just me, but I don't like strong stuff like acetone near my "food" related items. And yes, I am not that keen on pear drops.

Certainly understand why you wouldnt want to use chemicals around something you ingest, but either acetone/alcohol/toluene are used to clean virtually every painted surface and to clean bare metal in manufacturing. I cant comment on the manufacture of plastics or glass, but wouldnt be surprised if theyre there as well.


Always wear gloves though, as liquid ketones not yet evaporated are detectable in the body minutes after exposure.

Cheers Val it’s just the jars for keeping weed in but know what u mean and good idea about the cooking oil, can imagine that will set my ocd off worse than the others lol and pear drops u mean the sweets lol

Cheers Trich good idea on the hand gel, I’ve used the alcohol on them in the past and it does work but it’s awkward and sticky man, if I had grown and dried some nice stuff right though I wouldn’t be arsed about not cleaning it but the last one was real dry and nasty so don’t want any of that shit left in there
Cheers

Yeah i can't disagree with you on any of the points, theyre not exactly convenient to clean them up to like new.

I like to smoke from a jar but I was thinking about changing to them mylar storage bags for the actual harvest, i can't remember the name but they're pretty popular, apparently they're airtight and whatnot.

I got some bags like that, I really like them, I believe they are called grove bags, I'll go check after this post and if I'm wrong I'll edit the name.

Thank you Deku Nut that's the one, grove bags.

I haven't ever tried A dish washer but seems like Hot soapy water would clean them. JMO

I use Isopropyl alcohol and it does a great job with sticky jars (cvaults these days), and cleaning my trimmers
