how to clean bong

To clean a bong effectively, follow these steps:

1. Empty the used water from the bong and rinse it with warm water to loosen debris and residue.
2. Fill the bong about halfway with isopropyl alcohol (preferably 91% or 99%) and add a few tablespoons of coarse salt (such as kosher, Epsom, or rock salt). The alcohol dissolves resin, while the salt acts as a scrubber.
3. Cover all openings with your hands or plugs and shake the bong vigorously for several minutes to agitate and dislodge resin buildup.
4. If the bong has detachable accessories like downstems or bowls, clean them separately by soaking in isopropyl alcohol and salt inside sealable bags, shaking them as well.
5. Use pipe cleaners, cotton swabs, or soft brushes for any stubborn spots that won't come clean from soaking and shaking.
6. Rinse all parts thoroughly with warm distilled water to remove alcohol, salt, and residue.
7. Let the bong and accessories air dry before reassembling and use.

This method keeps your bong clean, prevents buildup, and ensures better flavor and hygiene for your sessions.
