What you'll need:
- Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) 70% or higher
- Cooking salt or Epsom salt
- Paper towels
- Ziplock baggies
- Rubber bands (optional)
- Pipe cleaners/wire hangers (optional)
Step 1:
Disassemble your bong. If you have any removable pieces, such as the downstem, bowl, or ash catcher, remove them and set them aside.
Step 2:
Run hot water through your bong to loosen up any resin or debris. This will make it easier to clean later.
Step 3:
Pour salt into the base of your bong. The amount of salt you use will depend on the size of your bong. A good rule of thumb is to use about one-fourth to one-half cup of salt.
Step 4:
Pour alcohol over the salt. Again, the amount of alcohol you use will depend on the size of your bong. A good rule of thumb is to use about twice as much alcohol as salt.
Step 5:
Seal the bong. You can do this by wrapping paper towels tightly around the mouthpiece and downstem, or by using a ziplock bag. If you're using a ziplock bag, squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing it.
Step 6:
Shake! Shake the bong vigorously for about five minutes. This will help to loosen up the resin and debris.
Step 7:
Rinse the bong. Once you've finished shaking, rinse the bong with hot water. This will remove the alcohol and salt, and leave your bong sparkling clean.
Step 8:
Dry the bong. Be sure to dry your bong completely before using it again. This will help to prevent the growth of mold or bacteria.
Tips:
- If you have a lot of resin buildup, you may need to let the bong soak in the alcohol and salt solution for a few hours before shaking it.
- You can also use a pipe cleaner or wire hanger to scrub away any stubborn resin.
- Be sure to wear gloves when handling the alcohol and salt.
- Store your bong in a clean, dry place when you're not using it. This will help to prevent it from getting dirty again. Y
