Time to Clean Your Bong. A Step-by-Step Guide

Before getting into the how, it’s worth talking about the why.

Keeping your glass bong clean isn’t just about how it looks on the table. It’s about how it feels to use. When resin and residue build up, the smoke changes. The flavor dulls. Everything starts to taste a little… tired. A clean piece lets the good stuff come through the way it’s supposed to.

Alright, Let's Get That Bong of Yours Clean!

First things first: gather what you need. Nothing complicated.

You’ll want:

• Cleaning Solution (or)

• Isopropyl alcohol

• Coarse salt

• Hot water

• A cleaning brush or soft cloth

• A container large enough to hold the parts

Step One: Empty & Rinse

Dump out any old water and give the bong a quick rinse. This part is simple and oddly satisfying.

Step Two: Take It Apart

Next, disassemble the bong as much as possible. Place the parts into your container or stash bag, and cover them with isopropyl alcohol & coarse salt. Make sure everything is fully submerged. Let it soak for at least 10-15 minutes so the buildup has time to loosen up.

Step Three: A Bongs Favorite Cocktail

Next, fill the bong with your favorite Cleaning Solution or, if you're in a pinch, a solution of warm water and isopropyl alcohol, making sure the ratio of alcohol to water is at least 50/50. Add a generous amount of coarse salt to the solution and stir to mix. That grit is doing the heavy lifting.

If you want to keep your hands clean, you can wear latex gloves while doing this.

(If you want to keep things easy, Session’s cleaning solution is an isopropyl alcohol + salt blend that cuts through buildup fast and doesn’t smell like regret all over your hands)

Step Four: Shake That Ish!!!

Cover the openings, use cleaning caps if you have them, a cloth or paper towel if you don’t... and give it a good shake. The salt scrubs while the alcohol dissolves. Finish by brushing any stubborn spots.

Final Rinse

Once the soaking time is up, rinse the bong parts thoroughly with hot water to remove any remaining dirt or residue and reassemble the bong. Your bong is now clean and ready to use, admire your work!

Make It A Habit

Regular cleaning keeps flavors clean and airflow clear. It also helps prevent bacteria and mold from setting up shop. If you use your bong often, clean it often. Your future sessions will thank you.
