How to clean a plastic bong

One solution that can be used to clean your glass piece utilizes white vinegar and baking soda. White vinegar and baking soda are safe and natural ingredients that you likely don’t need to leave home to find.

SPT: 70% isopropyl alcohol and table salt will clean your glass bongs and bowls, stems and pieces also. Adding hot water can help. You can find it anywhere, 32oz bottles at walmart for $4. Clean it once a week and keep it looking brand new.

You can clean your glass way easier with hand sanitizer. I have used hand sanitizer on all my pieces and it does an amazing job. Just fill your piece with the gel and let it soak in, it works best if you fill it and then place it in a ziplock. Give it a couple shakes every 5 mins, and let it soak for a good 30 mins.

Note: Don’t pour boiling water straight into your bong due to the potential of the thermal shock causing it to break.

Fill the base of your bong with vinegar and add a few teaspoons of pure baking soda. Cover the bong holes and shake hard for several minutes. When the vinegar has turned brownish, rinse out the mixture with warm water.

Changing the water in your bong or bubbler daily, and doing a thorough cleaning about once a week, will help to prevent them.

Both experts suggest cleaning your bong or pipe once a week. “A lot of connoisseurs clean their bong every day,” says Reyna. “If you want to keep it clean and prevent things like this, just dump the water when you are done using your bong every single time and clean it anyway.”

Heavy smokers: Once every one to two days.

Fresh bong water should be used at a minimum every one to two days for those who are consistently using their bongs. A slimy biofilm is exactly what you DON’T want on your bong, and the best way to do that is to make sure you’re cleaning it out whenever possible, day-to-day.

Daily use = Daily cleaning

If you use a wet piece once a day you should clean it once a day. For everyone else, the healthiest way to smoke out of a bong is to clean it after each use and let it dry completely before storing.

No—but it does the job well enough to make it cleaner than other smoking methods in the long run. Second, the water in your bong also cools the smoke before it hits your mouth, making for a smoother hit that’s less irritating on the lungs.

Dirty bong water leads to mold growth

This biofilm mixes with the plant residue in your bong. If you let this sit without cleaning, it will lead to a buildup of slimy, green-black mold and resin. This buildup will be very difficult to clean and will make the bong hard to sanitize.
