How to Clean a Bong

Cleaning Agents

When you’re thinking about the differences between all the different cleaning agents that you can choose from, you are met with a lot of choices. Isopropyl alcohol and salt is one of the best ways to clean your bong for many reasons. You even have the more natural option of using Lemon Juice. The natural cleaning agent mixed with salt (which acts as an abrasive) can be a great way to clean because it dissolves left behind ash and leaves behind a satisfying aroma. Commercial cleaning agents can also provide a quick and easy experience that will leave your bong glistening. There are many things to consider when deciding on the best cleaning agent for your bong. If your bong is glass, bamboo, silicone, or any material you need to clean it on a regular basis to keep it in pristine condition

Isopropyl Alcohol and Salt

90% isopropyl alcohol and salt is one of the best ways to clean your bong. Don’t waste your time with anything that’s under 90% because it won't be as helpful in dissolving resin and ash that has built up in your bong. Using Isopropyl Alcohol and Salt to clean your bong is a simple process that can save you a lot of time and money. Commercial bong cleaners can be more expensive and can only provide enough for 2-3 good cleans. Isopropyl alcohol and salt can be found at any pharmacy or grocery store so if you’re in a situation where you can’t use anything else it will do a great job to make sure you have a memorable consumption experience. 

Commercial Cleaning Solutions

Formula 420 and Orange Chronic are great options if you’re looking for your bong to look like it just was unwrapped from the smoke shop the first day that you got it. Both of these brands usually go between $10-$15 at your local Smoke Shop. If you live in an area that doesn't have a smoke shop you can easily purchase them online. Instead of having to mix isopropyl alcohol and salt you simply pour the solution straight from the bottle into the bong. After you use commercial cleaners you’ll notice a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of your bong.

Lemon Juice and Salt

Lemon Juice is an all natural way to clean your bong and it is very effective. If you are out in nature hiking or camping this is a great way to clean your bong because you will not leave behind any toxic chemicals after you dispose of the cleaning solution. Salt acts as an abrasive and can be easily brought with you if you are on the go. Lemon juice and salt can be found in your house or the local grocery store; so it is very easy to make this cleaning solution no matter where you are.
