Randy’s Black Label Glass, Metal, and Ceramic Cleaner (12oz) is a heavy-duty cleaner made for people who actually use their pieces and don’t want to spend all night scrubbing them. If you’re tired of cloudy glass, sticky downstems, and reclaim-caked tools, this stuff cuts through tar and resin fast so your gear looks and hits like it should. The 12oz (354ml) bottle gives you enough cleaner to keep multiple bongs, rigs, and pipes in rotation without running out mid-clean.
Why It Hits Different
- Fast clean, less hassle — Strong formula attacks tar, goo, and resin on contact so you’re not shaking your arm off forever.
- Saves your favorite pieces — Designed for glass, metal, and ceramic, so you can use one cleaner for your bong, dab rig, and bowl without worrying about damage.
- Better flavor, smoother pulls — A clean piece means you actually taste your flower or concentrates instead of burnt leftovers from last week.
- Perfect size for regular upkeep — 12oz (354ml) is dialed in for people who clean often but don’t need a giant jug taking up space.
- Great for stubborn buildup — Clings to grime in tight spots like percs, downstems, and bowls where brushes can’t always reach.
- Less mess on cleaning day — Liquid cleaner handles the heavy lifting so you spend more time rinsing than fighting crusty residue.
Best for
Randy’s Black Label is made for smokers and dabbers who run their glass hard and don’t want it looking like a science experiment. If you’ve got a couple of daily-driver pieces plus a backup rig and a few bowls, this bottle will slide right into your regular cleaning routine. It also plays nice if your setup includes a mix of pieces like glass rigs and unbreakable options from our silicone bongs & rigs collection, letting you focus this cleaner where it shines: glass, metal, and ceramic.
How to use it (the basics)
Start by making sure your piece is empty and cool. Add enough Randy’s Black Label to coat the dirty areas inside your glass, metal, or ceramic, then cover any openings and give it a good shake so the cleaner can reach all the resin-heavy spots. You’ll see the liquid darken as it breaks down tar and buildup.
Let the cleaner work for a short time, then pour it out and rinse well with warm water until there’s no cleaner left and everything feels smooth instead of sticky. For really stubborn sections, you can repeat the process or focus some cleaner directly on those trouble areas while you gently agitate. It’s a good move to do this over a dab mat or sink to catch any drips and keep your space from getting messy.
If you’re cleaning smaller pieces like slides, bowls, or metal dab tools, you can use a small container, add enough cleaner to cover them, swirl, and then rinse thoroughly. Once everything’s dry and residue-free, your piece is ready to go back into the rotation without that old, burnt taste lingering.

Fit & Compatibility
This cleaner is built specifically for hard materials: glass, metal, and ceramic. It’s ideal for things like bongs, dab rigs, bowls, slides, ashcatchers, basic smoke shop products made of those materials, and metal dab tools. Don’t use it on silicone, acrylic, painted exteriors, or anything the manufacturer says to keep away from strong cleaners. When in doubt, spot-test a tiny, hidden area first.
Care & storage tips
Close the cap tightly after each use and store the bottle upright in a cool, dry spot, away from direct sunlight or heat. If you’re cleaning multiple pieces in one go, pour only what you need so you’re not wasting product. After each clean, let your piece cool, rinse everything thoroughly with warm water, and allow it to dry before you pack it away in your usual storage & packaging setup.
Level up your cleaning routine
Randy’s Black Label does the heavy lifting for the inside of your gear, and pairing it with the right accessories makes the whole process smoother. Keep your clean pieces safer between uses by stashing your concentrates in proper concentrate jars instead of random containers that gunk everything up. If you’re working with rosin or hash on the regular, having reliable parchment papers on hand helps keep sticky material off your glass in the first place, so cleaning day isn’t a fight.
FAQ
- Can I use Randy’s Black Label on silicone or acrylic pieces?
No, this cleaner is meant for glass, metal, and ceramic only. For anything soft, flexible, or plastic-based, stick with gentle methods or pieces designed to be cleaned differently, like items from our silicone pipes line that are easier to maintain. - Do I need to dilute it, or use it straight from the bottle?
Use it straight from the bottle. Pour in enough to contact the dirty areas, shake or swirl so it reaches all the buildup, then pour it out and rinse thoroughly with warm water until there’s no cleaner left. - Is it safe for colored or worked glass?
It’s designed for glass, including most colored or worked pieces. Avoid using it on painted, plated, or finished exteriors that aren’t true glass color work. If your piece has special finishes or decals, you can always spot-test a tiny area first to be safe. - How often should I clean my bong or rig with this?
That depends on how hard you run your gear. A lot of people like to give their daily driver a cleaning once a week or whenever they notice flavor dropping off or buildup starting to creep up the neck. Regular quick cleans with Randy’s keep you from dealing with full-on, concrete-level resin. - Will it remove heavy, old resin that’s been sitting for a long time?
Yes, it’s strong enough to handle stubborn, long-term buildup. You may need to let the cleaner sit for a bit longer inside the piece or repeat the process a couple of times for really neglected glass, especially around percs and tight chambers. - Can I soak small parts like bowls and metal tools in it?
You can submerge glass, metal, or ceramic parts in a small container with enough cleaner to fully cover them. Swirl occasionally, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and let everything dry before putting it back with your other dab tools or accessories. - Does this cleaner leave any taste or smell behind?
As long as you rinse your piece thoroughly with warm water after using Randy’s Black Label, it shouldn’t leave a noticeable taste or smell. Make sure all cleaner is fully rinsed out and the piece is dry before your next sesh so you’re only tasting what you pack.
