- BACKGROUND ON METH. Methamphetamine (N-methyl-1-phenylpropan-2-amine) is a stimulant medication that was developed in Japan as a potent alternative to amphetamines. The drug was popularly used during World War II to keep troops awake. In the 1950s, the drug gained a reputation as a treatment for depression or a method to maintain wakefulness.

The acetone that drips through the paper is washing out soluble contaminants and cuts. While you’re waiting, you’ll no doubt be wondering why a coffee filter wouldn’t be better?
OK THIS IS GOING TO BE CRUCIAL FOR MANY OF YOU. YOU SNORT COKE OR SNORT/SMOKE METH (IF YOU SLAM EITHER JUST PRAY FOR YOUR SOUL AND DON'T BOTHER CLEANING SHIT IMO) BUT THE STUFF YOU GET AIN'T PURE. WHAT DO YOU DO? IF YOU ARE STUPID OR POOR YOU PROBABLY ARE HAPPY RAILING A LINE OF BAKING SODA BUT IF YOU HAVE A CLUE AND ENOUGH DOUGH TO BUY SIZABLE AMOUNTS (LIKE AT LEAST A BALL OF COKE OR 2-3 GRAMS OF METH) THEN YOU CAN EASILY AND WITH MINIMAL LOSSES PURIFY YOUR DOPE BACK TO IT'S PRE-CUT GOODNESS. THE METHODS FOLLOWING ARE CALLED A AND B. A I WOULD USE FOR A SMALL AMOUNT, SAY 1-2 GRAMS OF DOPE, B WORKS FOR ANYTHING UP TO A ZIP. MORE THAN THAT YOU NEED A HARDCORE A/B EXTRACTION WHICH IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF MOST OF YOU. ALSO A WORKS REALLY WELL ON CERTAIN CUTS THAT ARE NOT SOLUBLE IN WATER. MSM (A COMMON CUT FOR METH) IS ONE OF THEM.
QUICK PRIMER- CRIZZ (METH) AND COKE ARE BOTH VERY MISSIBLE IN WATER. MEANS THEY DISSOLVE EASILY IN WATER. SOME CUTS DO AS WELL, MANY DO NOT. MEANS IF YOU HAVE COKE OR CRIZZ IN A BAG ALONG WITH OTHER BADDIES AND THOSE BADDIES HAPPEN TO BE INSOLUBLE IN WATER THEN LOGICALLY IF YOU POUR SOME KIND OF LIQUID OVER YOUR DOPE THE BADDIES WILL DISSOLVE INTO THE LIQUID LEAVING THE GOOD STUFF BEHIND.
TURNS OUT THERE IS SUCH A SUBSTANCE AND IT'S NAME IS ACETONE. ACETONE IS NASTY SHIT, IT SMELLS HORRIBLE AND IT DISSOLVES PAINT AND WHATEVER ELSE IT TOUCHES. NEVER EVER HANDLE ACETONE WITHOUT GLOVES AND USE GLASS ONLY TO MIX THINGS UP IN. ACETONE MELTS PLASTIC AND RUBBER AND WILL MELT ALUMINUM IN THE PRESENCE OF CRIZZ. MEANING USE GLASS ALWAYS.
A- EASY TO DO, AND FAST. FIRST ACQUIRE DOPE AND ACETONE. MAKE SURE YOU BUY OR OBTAIN PURE ACETONE FROM A HARDWARE STORE OR SIMILAR. DO NOT USE OLD ACETONE OR IF IT'S BEEN OPEN ANY LENGTH OF TIME AND I IWLL EXPLAIN WHY. ACETONE LOVES WATER IT WILL ABSORB WATER FROM THE AIR WHEN THE CAP IS OPEN. THIS IS BAD, YOU DO NOT WANT WATER IN YOUR ACETONE WHY? BECAUSE COKE AND CRIZZ ARE SOLUBLE IN WATER. MEANS YOU LOSE DOPE TO WATER CONTAMINATION. SO BUY A CAN OF TONE AND ONLY OPEN TO GET WHAT YOU NEED OUT CLOSE RIGHT AWAY. BEFORE YOU USE ACETONE I REC YOU PUT IT IN FREEZER FOR A COUPLE HOURS. AS YOU HEAT A SOLVENT YOU INCREASE IT'S CAPACITY TO DISSOLVE A SOLUTE THUS THE COLDER TONE IS THE LESS OF YOUR PRODUCT WILL DISSOLVE INTO IT.
SO YOU HAVE COLD TONE AND YOUR DOPE- TAKE DOPE AND PLACE INTO BOTTOM OF A PRE-WETTED NATURAL COFFEE FILTER. YOU CAN USE ANY FILTER YOU LIKE BUT THE BROWN ONES HAVEN'T BEEN BLEACHED THUS THEY ARE IDEAL TO USE IN THE PRESENCE OF STRONG SOLVENTS. PRE-WET MEANS POUR SOME TONE INTO THE FILTER THEN ADD DOPE THEN POUR NEW TONE OVER THE DOPE AND FILTER. DOESN'T MATTER IF COKE OR CRIZZ. IF YOU ARE ADDICTED TO HAVING BIG SHINY SHARDS YOU WILL LOSE LESS CUT. YOU WANT TO CRUSH UP YOUR DOPE BE IT COKE OR METH PRIOR TO WASHING.
REVIEW FOR WASH A- COLD TONE, POUR INTO FILTER, THEN TAKE DOPE AND PUT INTO PRE-WET FILTER, POUR SOME TONE OVER DOPE AND LET SIT FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO. YOU MAY WASH AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT, THE MORE YOU WASH THE MORE DOPE YOU LOSE BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS *SOME* WATER IN THE TONE YOU HAVE. THREE WASHES IS USUALLY AS GOOD AS IT GETS, MORE ISN'T BETTER. BE *CAREFUL* NOT TO SNORT OR SMOKE ANY ACETONE! IT EVAPORATES IN MINUTES THERE IS NOT REASON TO RUSH THE PROCESS. IDEALLY A 20 MINUTE DRYING PERIOD IS ALL YOU NEED POST WASHING.
DO *NOT* I REPEAT DO *NOT* DISRESPECT ACETONE. DON'T TOUCH IT WITH BARE SKIN IF YOU CAN AVOID IT, DO NOT NOT NOT DRINK IT OR GET IT IN YOUR MOUTH AND DO NOT SMOKE ANYWHERE NEAR IT. NO OPEN FLAMES!!!! I HAVE SEEN A VIAL OF TONE AND DOPE BURST INTO FLAMES BECAUSE A CIG WAS LIT 5 FEET AWAY. THE VAPORS OF TONE ARE THICK AND TEND TO COAGULATE, KEEP THE WINDOW OPEN AND NO OPEN FLAMES.
IF YOU HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF DOPE LIKE A HALF ZIP AND JUST WANT TO WASH IT FOR YOUR OWN CONSUMPTION YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT LOSSES WHICH MEANS YOU NEED ACETONE ANHYDROUS. GOOD LUCK FINDING ANY, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOURSELF. IT'S EASY, GRAB EPSOM SALTS LIKE A 1/2 CUP WORTH AND PUT INTO OVEN, BAKE AT 400% FOR AN HOUR OR SO. TAKE POWDER AND PUT INTO GLASS, POUR ACETONE OVER IT AND SHAKE WELL. LET SIT IN FREEZER FOR TWO HOURS AND YOU HAVE FREEZING COLD DRY AS FUCK ACETONE ANHYDROUS. MAKE *SURE* YOU DO *NOT* SHAKE THIS STUFF BEFORE POURING OVER YOUR DOPE FOR THE WASH. YOU MIGHT WANT TO EYE DROPPER OUT THE TOP LAYER WHICH HAS NO EPSOMS PRESENT AS THE EPSOMS WILL SETTLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT PART TOUCHING YOUR DOPE.
METHOD B- YOU NEED TO GET RID OF CUTS THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BE REMOVED EASILY OR YOU HAVE A LOT OF DOPE AND WANT TO BE SURE YOU AREN'T LOSING MUCH ADN THAT THE FINAL PRODUCT IS AS PURE AS CAN BE. THIS METHOD HAS BEEN FOUND SUPERIOR TO A IN MANY WAYS BUT IT TAKES A LONG TIME, AROUND 24 HOURS, SO IF YOU ARE IMPATIENT SET ASIDE SOME DOPE FORYOURSELF AND DO NOT RUSH THIS PROCESS OF YOU WILL REGRET IT!
WHAT YOU NEED- SAME STUFF AS A EXCEPT MORE DOPE AND A GOOD DRY ALCOHOL. METHANOL OR DENATURED ALCOHOL SEEM TO WORK BEST. HAVING READ ISOPROPYL WORKS I CAN SAY IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT SO DONT USE IT. YOU WANT THE DRIEST ALCOHOL POSSIBLE, NO VODKA ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH, YOU WANT THE LEAST WATER POSSIBLE.
TAKE DOPE AND CRUSH WELL. SMASH IT AS FINELY AS POSSIBLE. BRING A MEASURE OF ALCOHOL TO BOIL. BE CAREFUL, DRY ALCOHOL IS FLAMMABLE (LESS THAN TONE BUT STILL A DANGER) WHAT I HAVE USED THAT WORKS IS BRING A POT OF WATER TO A HIGH BOIL TURN OFF FLAME SOURCE PUT BEAKER FULL OF ALCOHOL INTO BOILING WATER AND LET IT SIT. AFTER 2-3 MINUTES YOU WILL SEE BUBBLES IN THE ALCOHOL, IT'S READY. CRUSHED DOPE IS IN BOTTOM OF GLASS IMPLEMENT, CAN BE A BOWL OR GLASS YOUR CHOICE. DROP BOILING ALCOHOL ONTO DOPE UNTIL DOPE DISSOLVES 100%. YOU WANT TO SWIRL OR STIR HERE, NO SHAKING, TO GET DOPE TO DISSOLVE. ROUGHLY A 3:1 RATIO OF ALCOHOL TO DOPE IS SUFFICIENT. DOPE WILL READILY DISSOLVE MEANING IF YOU ADD HOT ETOH AND MOST OF YOUR PILE DISSOLVES QUICK AFTER 30 SECONDS ANYTING THAT'S NOT IS BAD AND WILL BE LEFT BEHIND AFTER FILTERING.
TAKE HOT DOPE/ETOH MIXTURE AND POUR THROUGH PRE-WET COFFEE FILTER INTO GLASS BOWL OR CUP. EITHER IS FINE. AFTER THIS DO *NOT* TOUCH YOUR CONTAINER!!! NO FREEZING NO SHAKING NO STIRRING. THE LESS YOU JOSTLE THE LIQUID THE BIGGER CRYSTALS YOU WILL END UP WITH. COKE OR CRIZZ DOESN'T MATTER. AS THE ETOH IS EVAPORATING THE PRODUCT YOU WANT WILL BE LEFT BEHIND AND FORM CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS (THE YUM YOU WANT) BUT CRYSTAL FORMATION IS DELICATE. BE CAREFUL. IN A BOWL OR WHATEVER IT WILL TAKE A SOLID 24 HOURS TO EVAP THE ALCOHOL (ETOH) AND ALLW THE CRYSTALS TO DRY. BE *VERY* CAREFUL NOT TO MESS WITH CRYSTALS BEFORE THEY DRY 100%. TRUST ME. ALSO ONCE YOU HARVEST CRSYTALS IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO PUT SOME ETOH INTO THE GLASS AND SWIRL AROUND ADN LET THAT DRY AS WELL. YOU WILL GET SOME MORE DOPE OUT OF IT, 1/2 GRAM AT MOST BUT IT COUNTS.
TAKE DRY CRYSTALS AND PERFORM A AS LISTED ABOVE. COLD TONE WASH (ANHYDROUS PREFERRED) 2-3 TIMES AND LET DRY. SMALL AMOUNT OF DOPE NEEDS 20MINUTES, LARGER AMOUNTS TAKE LONGER. ACETONE IS FUCKING POISONOUS, YOU WANT TO LET IT EVAP. A GOOD WAY TO TELL IS OBVIOUSLY TO SMELL IT- YOU CAN SMELL TONE IT'S NOT DRY YET.
THE REASON TO RECRYSTALLIZE- BADDIES ARE LEFT BEHIND IN THE COFFEE FILTER THE FIRST TIME BUT SOME CUTS ARE WATER SOLUBLE SO THEY DISSOLVE ALONG WITH THE GOODS. THE BEAUTY WITH RECRYSTALLIZATION IS THAT AS THE LIQUID IS DRYING AND THE GOODS ARE FORMING CRYSTALS THE DOPE WILL NATURALLY FORM CRSYTALLS WITH ITSELF AND THAT LEAVES THE CUTS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CRSYTALS. THE COLD TONE WASHING WASHES THE CUTS OFF AND PRESTO YOU HAVE PURE DOPE.
CAUTION- DRUGS WILL KILL YOU AND ARE ILLEGAL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THEM. IF YOU MUST, I HOPE YOU LISTEN TO MY ADVICE AND DO NOT BE PUTTING HWO KNOWS WHAT INTO YOUR LUNGS OR NOSE. BE SMART PEOPLE. DRUGS KILL BUT THE CUTS COMPOUND THE PROBLEM SO AT *LEAST* MAKE SURE YOUR DOPE IS PURE. PLUS THE HIGH YOU WANT IS THE HIGH FROM PURE DOPE, THE CUTS MESS WITH THE EFFECT. THEY ARE BAD, STAY AWAY. HAVING QUIT DRUGS SOME TIME AGO I HAVE TO SAY LIFE DOES IMPROVE WITHOUT THEM BUT I ALSO REMEMBER BUYING BAG AFER BAG OF CUT CRAP AND WISHING I HAD A BETTER CONNECT BUT I NEVER NEEDED ONE! I COULD HAVE DONE THIS ON MY OWN AND SAVED SO MUCH TME AND CASH. BEST LUCK.
Worst case scenario is that your acetone is still too wet and there's some meth in your acetone which will be evident from the taste of the junk left over after the acetone evaporates. 8) Finally, you are left with a powdery mass in your flask which appears 'wet' from the residual acetone not yet completely evaporated. Let this sit at room temp. While you do use acetone to wash methamphetamine, is not the acetone that you get from your local drug store. Nail polish remover will not work. You need anhydrous acetone to purify your product.
How To Purify Cut Meth
If you tested your property for meth residue and the preliminary results came back positive, you should evacuate the premises in order to preserve your health and think about forming a plan on how to clean drug residue before returning to your home. There are several adverse health effects of living in a house that was previously used as a meth lab. Methamphetamine contains a variety of toxic chemicals that can cause nausea, vomiting, chemical burns, skin rashes, depression, and anxiety. In some severe cases, living in an ex meth lab house can cause chronic infections that can lead to death if not treated immediately.
This article is going to go in-depth on the topic of how to clean a drug house and what is the best course of action when you find out your property has meth residue all over it. Before we dive in, let’s take a moment and explore why is Meth so dangerous.
What Chemicals Are in Meth?
Meth is a highly addictive synthetic drug made of various toxic chemicals and substances. The list of ingredients can vary, but it almost always includes pseudoephedrine, phosphine, and acetone. These three chemicals present the biggest threat to your well-being and can cause both short-term and long-term health issues.
If you have kids and you’re looking to move in your entire family into a new place, it’s a good idea to inspect the neighborhood first, as children are more susceptible to developing health issues associated with exposure to Meth. If your children are in the near proximity of a meth lab, there is a high chance of them developing severe health issues that can scar them for life.
What Are the Dangers of Cleaning a Meth Lab?
It’s essential to be aware of all the risks before proceeding to commence the cleanup process. We highly recommend hiring an expert cleaning service to do it for you, but even then, it’s beneficial for you to know what are some of the dangers involving a regular meth house clean-up.
Aside from being infested with highly toxic chemicals, meth labs are prone to catching fire due to the volatile compounds used in the manufacturing process. Even entering a meth lab before conducting a proper test can present a serious risk. You can be exposed to meth residue through inhalation, direct skin contact, or ingestion.
If you decided to purchase a property you know was used for a meth lab, be wary of homemade booby traps left behind by criminals. While the property was probably previously inspected by law enforcement, we urge you to be cautious. Experts have reported they’ve found hidden explosive devices such as gasoline-filled light bulbs that are used to keep unwanted intruders away and protect the inventory.
What Government Agency Regulates Meth Clean-Up?
There isn’t a government agency that officially regulates the remediation of properties used for meth production. Rather, priorities for such cleanups are governed by state and local laws. That being said, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has provided a document called “Voluntary Guidelines for Methamphetamine Laboratory Cleanup” that aims to explain how to clean a meth house properly.
Homeowners, cleanup contractors, and others involved in meth lab remediation should definitely have access to this document. However, every state has a different clearance mandate that regulates if a property is considered habitable or not. In other words, each state differs in the amount of meth residue allowable in a property for it to be deemed a safe space to live in.
If you’re using our home meth testing kits to test your property, you’ll be able to measure samples as low as .02 mg/100 cm2.
Now let’s get to the gist of this article and go through all the steps required to rid your property of any drug residue. This is how we conduct the procedure at Spaulding Decon. Bear in mind that other contractors might have a slightly different approach.
How to Clean Meth in 10 Steps:
1. Surveying the Area
Inspecting the property and the surrounding area is arguably one of the most important steps. It gives the cleaning crew an idea of the level of contamination and sets the course of the entire cleaning process. When surveying the area, our technicians are equipped with the latest personal protective equipment, as any exposure to toxic substances can be hazardous. This includes special protective glasses, gloves, steel toe boots, and protective suits.
2. Ventilating the Building
Allowing clean and fresh air to enter the contaminated building is crucial. Using blowers and negative air scrubber machines is also necessary to completely replace the air inside. If there is a functional HVAC system in the building, it should be shut down to avoid spreading toxic particles into the air.
3. Developing a Cleanup Plan
After assessing the property, conducting tests, and performing the initial decontamination phase, it’s time to define the scope of work and develop a plan. This comprehensive plan should cover a variety of scenarios and outline what kind of cleanup methods are required in order to restore the property successfully.
The plan should cover things like:
- The levels of contamination in each room of the building.
- What kind of protective equipment is necessary
- What type of cleaning machines are required
- Security concerns and structural integrity
- Cleaning and waste disposal methods
- Cost estimates
A well-laid-out plan can streamline the cleaning process, making it less time-intensive and more cost-effective.
4. Removing Contaminated Objects
Once a plan is in place, we can commence the cleaning process by removing every affected object, including all carpets. Some of the items will be discarded entirely as they are too contaminated to be cleaned. After removing everything affected, we will once again ventilate the area for at least 24 hours.
5. Vacuuming the floors
We use commercial-grade vacuums equipped with special HEPA filters that are ideal for all floor types as well as above-ground areas such as walls. Vacuuming walls will remove any particles and is necessary before washing them.
6. First Stage of Washing
Once we’re done with vacuuming the area, it’s time to commence the first stage of washing hard surfaces. We make sure to reach all the nooks and crannies, especially those that are not visible at first. Using our previous experience and comprehensive test kits, we make sure the entire property is thoroughly washed. We do not use bleach as it can react with the toxic chemicals associated with Meth, producing a toxic gas as a result. Instead, we opt for detergent water solutions.
7. Addressing the HVAC System
The HVAC system needs to be completely shut down prior to and during the remediation process. It also needs to be thoroughly tested using special test kits in order to determine the level of meth residue found in the system, as well as the spread of contamination. Disinfecting air ducts is a challenging task that can compromise the remediation process at any time. Luckily, Spaulding Decon’s professional technicians have the necessary equipment and experience to handle this daunting task.
8. Second Stage of Washing
The second stage of washing involves using an effective cleaning agent that does not react with common chemicals used in the production of Methamphetamine. We clean from top to bottom, meaning we start from the ceilings and finish with the floors to prevent spreading contamination onto the lower sections. Each wash is followed by a thorough rinse using clean water. Exhaust vents, lighting fixtures, and hard surfaces such as counters and shelves are cleaned several times.
9. Addressing the Plumbing and Septic Systems
Meth producers often pour the residue into sinks and toilets. This can result in corrosion or in some cases, even make your plumbing system flammable. There have been instances where individuals tried cleaning their property on their own only to cause a fire and inflict even more damage to the property, not to mention put their lives in danger. We make sure to check your plumbing system and clean it with all safety precautions in mind. We will also inspect your septic system if there is one. This is usually done at the very end of the remediation process.

10. Clearance testing

After the job is completed, we will make sure to determine if the clearance levels are satisfactory and that they meet the standard set by state and local laws. If the re-occupancy clearance levels are not met, the site should be cleaned once more. Encapsulating the walls and the ceiling with primers and pain is also advisable in this case.
