Over time all the oils and particles will start to build up in the grinding area and the screw threading, making it harder to use or get stuck entirely.
My bad, I interpreted “wash” as just cleaning in general. Yeah, there’s not much point in putting it through a dishwasher unless you’re just being lazy
Depends how much gunk is on there, but if you do it somewhat regularly it could. Though you’ll definitely need to give it a proper cleaning eventually, as it’s still gonna get sticky from all the oils and such.
Shouldn’t be very often, though. Depending on how much you smoke, you may only need to do it once a year or even less than that
You can, but kosher salt and 91% isopropyl + a Ziploc bag does better for cheaper
The only time I’ve used the fancy shit (my personal preference is kryptonite cuz it’s set and forget) on my grinder was when it was megafucked after my mom had it a while.
She couldn’t use it anymore cuz she has arthritis and it had funked up. I don’t have arthritis and I couldn’t move it holy shit
Except you do actually wash your cast iron, just not with lye-based soap or abrasive materials.
You could just not wash it, and you’d probably be fine, but I wouldn’t recommend lol.
That’s how you get a lot of carbon or other partially cooked food in your next meal.
Is there a reason to wash a grinder though? It’s just weed, and you’re not cooking in it.

Oh, so can you just use that solution that cleans pipes and bongs?
I think I smoke so infrequently that I’ve never had that buildup yet

Oh so just using a dry brush should do the trick?

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it because that cleaner is expensive
