To clean your bong:
first take out all removable pieces (like the mouthpiece and pipe).
Pour 91% or 99% isopropyl alcohol into the bong and add some coarse salt, such as Epsom or rock salt, as an abrasive.
Shake your piece for about five minutes, then rinse with water and soap (Vinegar and rice will also work).
You can also buy commercial pipe cleaners, but many “aren’t necessarily the best for the earth.
I find, for the most part, isopropyl alcohol and rock salt always do the trick.
I love this method, not just because it works, but also because it supports the idea of conserving the legacy of cannabis, and continuing what has been working for so long.
But please keep in mind the conservation of our planet and our waterways.
Don’t be wasteful with water you use to clean.
Best regards,
Cleaning a gnarly bong can be a bit challenging, but there are several effective ways to do it. Here are some steps you can follow:
Empty the bong: Dump out any remaining water or residue from the bong.
Rinse the bong: Run hot water through the bong to rinse out any loose residue.
Add cleaning solution: There are several cleaning solutions available specifically for cleaning bongs, or you can make your own by mixing equal parts rubbing alcohol and coarse salt. Add the cleaning solution to the bong, filling it about one-third full.
Plug the holes: Cover the openings of the bong with plastic wrap, silicone plugs, or rubber bands to prevent the cleaning solution from spilling out.
Shake the bong: Gently shake the bong for a few minutes, making sure the cleaning solution reaches all areas inside the bong.
Soak the bong: If the bong is still dirty, let it soak in the cleaning solution for several hours or overnight.
Rinse thoroughly: Empty the cleaning solution and rinse the bong thoroughly with hot water, making sure to remove all cleaning solution and residue.
Dry the bong: Let the bong air dry completely before using it again.
Note: Be careful when handling glass bongs, as they can break easily if dropped or knocked against a hard surface.
