6 Steps For Deep Cleaning Your Bong

Now it’s time to dive into how to deep clean your bong. This process is somewhat lengthy, so make you sure have a good amount of time set aside to clean your bong. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of deep cleaning your bong to preserve the appearance and quality of your bong. By the end of this article, you should feel confident and know how to clean your bong like a pro.

What You’ll Need

Before you can start cleaning your bong, there are a few things you’ll need. The following ingredients and tools are required for a proper deep clean:

• • • Sea salt
    • 99% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
    • Large zipper storage bags
    • Towel
    • Rubber stoppers or bong plugs

Make sure you have a big enough space set aside to place all your necessary things, preferably near a sink.

Step 1

For the first step, it is important to remove the bowl and downstem from the bong. Place each piece in a separate zipper storage bag. If you place them in the same bag, you run the risk of breaking or chipping the pieces, so make sure they are separate during the cleaning process. Not only that, but it ensures both pieces can be cleaned thoroughly.

Step 2

Now, add the rubbing alcohol and salt to the two storage bags containing your bowl and downstem. The pieces should be fully submerged below the rubbing alcohol. Swish the alcohol around in the bag gently to make sure the rubbing alcohol and the salt are evenly distributed and mixed. The two pieces will soak in the bags while you move towards cleaning other parts of the bong.

Step 3

Time to pour out the bong water from your bong into a sink or drain. Now, as previously mentioned, it is important to regularly change out your bong water. This will help shorten the length of time during deep cleaning sessions because you would be managing any excess build-up of resin.

Step 4

Add in the salt and alcohol into the bong. You will first add the salt, ensuring the salt coats the bottom of the bong. Next, pour about 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol into the bong. Time to let your bong sit and stew.

Step 5

Plug the openings of your bong after allowing it to sit and soak for a few minutes. You can purchase the caps or plugs at your local head shop. Once you plug the openings, it’s time to shake. Make sure to shake thoroughly to ensure you are scrubbing and cleaning every surface. You want to remove as much resin build up as possible. Once you feel the right amount of resin has been removed, rinse out the salt and isopropyl alcohol.

Step 6

Last step! Rinse out your bong with warm water. Swirl the water around in the bong to ensure all the resin buildup, salt, and alcohol has been removed. Take your storage bags containing your bowl and downstem and rinse them with warm water. Pour out the alcohol and salt from the bags and throw the bags away. Allow the pieces to sit and dry before re-assembling.
