Formula 420 is the best-known name in glass cleaning - a line of purpose-made cleaners that dissolve resin in about a minute with a shake and rinse, no overnight soaking. The lineup covers glass, pyrex, metal, ceramic, silicone, and plastic with formulas matched to each material.

How do I use Formula 420 Original Cleaner?

Empty the water from your piece, pour in Formula 420, plug the openings, and shake for about a minute - then rinse thoroughly with warm water. No soaking required for routine cleanings; heavily caked pieces may need a second pass or a short soak.

Which Formula 420 cleaner do I need?

Original Cleaner handles glass, pyrex, metal, and ceramic. Use the dedicated Silicone or Plastics formula for those materials - solvents in the original can degrade them. Daily Use is a gentler maintenance formula for pieces you clean after every session.

Is Formula 420 reusable?

The standard formulas are single-use - pour, shake, rinse, done. If you prefer a reusable soak, Formula 420's soak-style products and cleaning caps let you submerge bowls and downstems and reuse the solution multiple times.

What are Res Caps and cleaning plugs?

Silicone caps and plugs that seal the openings of your bong or rig so you can shake cleaner through it without spraying your sink - and they double as travel caps that keep water in and smell contained when you move a loaded piece.

Is Formula 420 better than alcohol and salt?

It is faster and less messy - about 60 seconds versus extended shaking, with no abrasive salt that can scratch delicate percs. Alcohol and salt still works, but most people who try Formula 420 do not go back, especially for pieces with intricate percolators that salt cannot reach.
