Hey friend, let’s talk about something super cool and kinda shiny. Yup, you guessed it: obsidian! That rock that looks all fancy and mysterious. But guess what? It gets dirty too. Just like my kitchen after I attempt to cook spaghetti. So today, I’m gonna help you learn how to clean obsidian 9. No idea what Obsidian 9 is? Don’t worry. It’s just a way of saying we’re gonna shine up this awesome rock. Ready for the fun?
Step one: Gather your supplies
Okay so first things first, you need some stuff to clean that shiny rock. You don’t need much but here’s the list:
1. A soft cloth (like the one you probably use for dusting off your favorite movie DVDs).
2. Some warm water (not boiling hot or it might be too hot for the obsidian).
3. Mild soap or dish soap (don’t use that crazy cleaning stuff that smells like grandma’s perfume).
And maybe a little bit of lemon juice? Just to make it smell nice and fresh like spring! If you can find shackles or chains in your grandma’s laundry basket – just kidding! I just wanted to see if you’re paying attention.
Step two: Get cozy with your rock
Before you start cleaning, give yourself a pep talk while holding the obsidian in your hands. You might be thinking “it’s just a rock” but remember, this baby has been around since dinosaurs were doing their thing! Say something like “you are shiny and beautiful.” Your obsidian will thank you at least in spirit.
Step three: Give it a sink bath
Time to make that rock feel like a royal! Fill a bowl with warm water and add some mild soap. Not too much though or it’ll be all sudsy like those old cartoons where people slip on soap bars and fall over – classic comedy!
Soak that poor dirty obsidian gently in there for about 10 minutes while humming your favorite song or doing some crazy dance moves – whatever floats your boat!
Step four: Wipe away the dirt
Take out your obsidian from its luxurious bath and get ready to wipe away the dirt with your soft cloth! But wait, don’t go scrubbing too hard cause we don’t want to scratch its beautiful surface! It’s not an old frying pan after all!
Just gently wipe it down like you’re polishing some ancient treasure while pretending you’re Indiana Jones looking for lost artifacts.
Step five: Rinse and repeat
Alrighty then, time for another rinse! Okay so rinse the cloth in clean warm water without soap now. Then give the obsidian another gentle wipe down because who doesn’t love getting spoiled?
Just imagine this whole process is like giving that rock its own spa day – cucumber slices optional unless you wanna try balancing them on top of it for extra giggles!
Step six: Drying time
Now place ya sparkling black jewel on a clean towel or hang it out by the window (if you have no cats). Let it air dry fully before putting it back on display or using for whatever enchanting ritual you’ve been planning.
But hey don’t forget about those pesky cat hairs; they will totally take any chance they get to glam up their own looks as you’re working on yours.
Step seven: Admire your work
And finally, step back and admire what you’ve done. Your obsidian should be gleaming like it’s about to go on a magazine cover now! Go ahead and take selfies with it because who wouldn’t want Insta likes for cleaning rocks, right?
Remember to tell everyone how YOU cleaned this magnificent stone with all these pro tips we discussed here… bragging rights are important.
