Whether you’re a seasoned bong user or new to the world of water pipes, one thing is for sure: keeping your bong clean is essential for the best smoking experience.
Not only does a clean bong keep your weed tasting fresh, but it also ensures that your piece stays in top shape. If you’ve noticed your bong accumulating some gunk or that familiar musty smell, it might be time for a cleaning session. Here’s everything you need to know about cleaning your bong, with expert insights to make the process easier.
When Is It Time to Clean Your Bong?
“You know it’s time when you see a ring around the waterline or notice little floaters of resin or weed in the water. These particles, combined with bacteria and mildew, lead to that unmistakable bong smell.”
Good rule of thumb is to clean your bong once a week. For some connoisseurs, cleaning every day is the ideal, but at the very least, always change out the water after each use.
How to Clean Your Bong: Expert Tips
Cleaning your bong doesn’t require any fancy or expensive products. In fact, the tried-and-true method of rubbing alcohol and salt is still the most effective way to keep your bong in pristine condition.
Here’s how to clean your bong, step-by-step:
- Remove all removable parts: Take out the mouthpiece, pipe, or any other detachable pieces.
- Add rubbing alcohol and salt: Pour 91% or 99% isopropyl alcohol into the bong and add coarse salt (Epsom or rock salt works best as an abrasive).
- Shake it up: Seal the bong (with your hand or a cap if necessary) and shake it vigorously for about 5 minutes.
- Rinse and wash: After shaking, rinse the bong with warm water and mild dish soap. This will remove any remaining residue.
- Dry and reassemble: Let your bong dry completely before reassembling and using it again.
