Spilling bong water is a dreaded mishap for any cannabis enthusiast, but accidents happen. Pot Culture's "Burnout Crew" turned this stoner faux pas into a day of experimentation, spilling bong water on purpose to bring you the ultimate guide to tackling this messy situation.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Immediate Response:
- Avoid the instinct to mask the smell with air fresheners like Febreze, as this can worsen the situation.
- Remove Solid Residues:
- Carefully sweep up any resin chunks. Be cautious not to press them further into the carpet fibers.
- Blot the Spill:
- Use an old, dry towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Apply firm downward pressure to soak up the bong water efficiently. (The more pressure the more water the towel will absorb.
- Apply White Vinegar:
- Pour about 1/3 cup of white vinegar onto the stained area, then scrub vigorously using a brush or another clean cloth. The vinegar helps break down the odor and residue.
- Rinse with Warm Water:
- After scrubbing, rinse the area with warm water. Repeat the vinegar application if necessary.
- Dry the Area:
- Use a clean, dry towel to blot the area again. Apply downward pressure to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Neutralize Odor with Baking Soda:
- Sprinkle baking soda over the affected area as an additional odor neutralizer. Leave it for at least 4-6 hours, then vacuum it up.
- Steam Clean if Needed:
- For stubborn stains or odors, consider renting a carpet cleaner and steam clean the area a few times. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
With this guide, you're equipped to handle one of the most common cannabis-related accidents. Remember, the key is acting quickly and methodically. If you would like to avoid all of this party foul in the future, just don't spill the bong!
