Moldy GVG

[DisEmboDied]

Does anyone know how to get the moldy smell out of a glass GVG?

I cleaned it a few months ago (probably still had a little water in it), had it hidden in a container outside, was during the summer, took it out not that long ago, and it smelled like mold/mildew real bad, you could taste the mildew fonky smell taste when hitting on it.

I soaked it in hot soap and water, didn't work, then in bleach and water, nothing. Still tastes nasty, just not as much.


Anyone ever have this problem and please how do I solve it?


Peace, Love and Light!

Try soaking all parts in Isopropyl alcohol overnight. If that does not work try a detergent made to clean glass like
ALCONOX. Make you clean all the parts as well, not just the glass but the porous stone as well.

Bicarbonate soda solution is usually good for getting rid of odours.

Since it's glass, soak it in acetone. That stuff cleans glass better then anything else I have ever used. Plus I don't think any molds will survive an extended stay in acetone.

Any alcohol (ethanol/ipa) if that doesnt work.

If that doesnt seal the deal remove anything thats not made of glass and then dump it into a saturated solution of NaOH let it in there for 5 mins and you should have annihilated everything in there.
