Key Features Of The Taxi Cabbie Ashtray
How Does The Clamp Lid Help Contain Odors?
The defining feature is its robust metal clamp that secures the lid. When closed, the latch creates a tight seal that traps ash and helps contain smells inside the glass container. This makes it an excellent windproof ashtray for outdoor use and a discreet option for indoors. By preventing air from circulating freely, it also helps extinguish smoldering material faster, which further reduces odors.

This ashtray is crafted from thick glass with a frosted finish. This material choice is practical, not just for looks. Frosted glass is less likely to show fingerprints and minor stains compared to clear glass, keeping it looking clean for longer. The vibrant galaxy print is made to be durable, adding personality that makes this a fun, giftable accessory.

How To Care For Your Frosted Glass Ashtray
What Is The Right Way To Clean The Frosted Finish?
Cleaning the frosted glass is straightforward. First, ensure all contents are fully extinguished and cool before emptying. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they could scratch the glass or damage the galaxy print. A simple rinse with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth is usually enough for regular cleaning.
For tougher residue, a quick soak in isopropyl alcohol can help break it down before you gently wipe it clean. Always rinse it well with water and let it air dry completely or use a microfiber towel to prevent water spots.
