As we stoners know, rolling trays can get really dirty over time with the buildup of resin from our bud rolling activities. This leaves a very unattractive coat of resin on your cool rolling tray. Ensure that your rolling tray keeps that beautiful finish, and that your herbs don't stick to the surface of your tray by following these simple tips on how to clean a rolling tray.
Important Reasons To Clean Rolling Trays
If you don't maintain your rolling tray, it can get bad really quick. If you've used the same rolling tray for more than a few sessions, you know firsthand the result of resins accumulating on the surface of your rolling tray. When you fail to clean your tray properly after each use, you're risking the quality of your rolling tray. Neglecting to clean your rolling tray will cause it to begin losing its smooth texture, and acquire stains from resins and herbs you've rolled.
Regularly cleaning and taking good care of your rolling trays, will allow your rolling tray to maintain its cute appearance and last you a lot longer. A rolling tray of any quality will quickly lose its attractive element, and may even stop being useful for rolling herbs, if you don't at least attempt to clean your tray between sessions.
How to Clean A Metal Rolling Tray
Step 1
Wipe With A Clean Cloth (Remove Dry Residue)
Wipe down the surface of your metal rolling tray with a clean damp cloth until the coat of dry residue is removed. It's important not to try scraping or rubbing the surface of your rolling tray with a hard or sharp object. If you try to remove resin by scraping the surface of your rolling tray, you run the risk of damaging the rolling tray's attractive design. Unless you don't care much about your rolling tray, you'll want to make sure that you don't scratch its cool design. For the best results, try using a microfiber cloth to clean the surface of your metal rolling tray.
Step 2
Spray With Vinegar or Isopropyl Alcohol (Diluted)
After you've wiped the surface of your metal rolling tray with a clean cloth, spray the surface of your rolling tray with a dilute solution of vinegar to help remove the stubborn stains left behind from resin. After spraying the surface of your tray with vinegar, continue cleaning your rolling tray by wiping the surface with a clean cloth. If marks left behind from resin seem too difficult to remove, then try to clean your rolling tray by spraying the surface of your metal rolling tray with a dilute solution of isopropyl alcohol/ rubbing alcohol before wiping it. Both vinegar and isopropyl alcohol work as solvents to dissolve the hard to remove resin. However, only use isopropyl alcohol if necessary because this solution is very strong and can fade the design of your metal rolling tray over time from continued application.
Step 3
Dry With Clean Cloth
Make sure to thoroughly dry and clean the surface of your metal rolling tray after you've applied vinegar or isopropyl alcohol. You don't want to leave residue from these solvents to mix with the herbs you roll for the next rotation. They might be some of the best ways to clean rolling trays, but that doesn't mean they're fit for recreational fun.

How to Clean A Wooden Rolling Tray
Step 1
Wipe With A Clean Cloth (Remove Dry Residue)
Wipe down the surface of your wooden rolling tray with a clean cloth until the coat of dry residue is removed. It's important not to try scraping or rubbing the surface of your rolling tray with a hard or sharp object. If you try to remove resin by scraping the surface of your rolling tray, you run the risk of damaging the rolling tray's smooth surface. Unless you don't care much about your rolling tray, you'll want to make sure that you don't scratch and chip the surface of your rolling tray. For the best results, try using a microfiber cloth to wipe the surface of your wooden rolling tray.
Step 2
Spray With Soap & Water or Household Wood Cleaner (Diluted)
Spray your wooden rolling tray with either a trusted household wood cleaner, or a combined solution of soap and water. If using soap and water, make sure that the mixed solution is dilute. Avoid using a solution that foams or suds, and ensure that your wooden rolling tray doesn't get soaked with excessive water when cleaning. Using a dilute solution of soap and water will work as a solvent to dissolve the hard to remove resin on your wooden rolling tray. However, limit your use of cleaning solution when cleaning your wooden rolling tray. If you allow too much moisture to enter the wood of your rolling tray, the material will become weak, leading to rot and splits/crack in your wooden rolling tray.
Step 3
Clean With A Soft Bristle Brush
Continue to clean your rolling tray by using a soft bristle brush to gently scrub the hard to remove resin from the surface. Avoid using a brush with sharp hard bristles, because this can damage the surface of your wooden rolling tray. By using a solvent before cleaning your rolling tray, you'll be able to use a soft brush to gently scrub away resin without scratching and damaging the surface of your tray. Try using a soft toothbrush to clean the surface of your wooden rolling tray, to avoid scrape damage and make it easy to get into the groove of each curved corner.

Soap and water will work as a solvent to dissolve the hard to remove residue on your polymer or resin rolling tray. Make sure to allow your rolling tray enough time to soak in soap and water, to dissolve hard to remove residue from the surface of your tray. Since the material used for plastic, polymer, and resin rolling trays are more resistant to water damage, it is okay to thoroughly wash your resin rolling tray in submerged soap & water until it is clean.
