How to Clean Your Bong

So there is some debate on how to clean your bong these days. Dirty bowls with weeks of build up. Stems that barley let air through. How do you get all that crud out easily?  Some say the alcohol of old is toxic and is very hard to rinse out, others have sworn by the water, ice and salt solutions, while others use a combination of the both and of course you have brushes. No matter if your bong is plastic, ceramic, glass or metal you will have to clean it regularly to keep your buds tasting at their finest.

Now most still use the 97% medical alcohol to get their rig to its former beauty. I use it still and it does the job well. Some smokers know how to clean your bong with boiling water, others know how to help you clean your bong without alcohol too.

First lets cover the old school ways.

Boiling

#1 – Fill up a large enough pot of hot water to fit the pipe in.

#2 – Place pipe in and start heating the water slowly, like 1/2 heat.

#3 – Once the water begins to boil turn heat off and let pipe sit for 10 minutes.

#4 – Then drain water from pan slowly. Use a heat mitt to gently hold pipe.

#5 – Place pipe on a thick cloth to cool and dry.

You will have a stinky pot and house so be ready for that.

Rubbing Alcohol

#1 – Get the 97% rubbing alcohol from any pharmacy.

#2 – Fill bong will rubbing alcohol until the dirty water line is covered.

#3 – Take pipe seal holes with paper towels, shake it vigorously for 5 minutes to get all rubbing alcohol all over inside

#4 – Let pipe sit for 3 hours or more, The longer the better.

#5 – Drain the alcohol out and rinse pipe with hot water rinsing repeatedly x 3
