I’ve been cleaning my bongs and pipes for years, though without alcohol and salts. I just use lukewarm water with some soap, shake the piece a few times, empty it and then repeat a few times before I bring out my bottle brush (or pipe cleaners) and start to actually clean it. -There is no need for water to be especially hot. Super hot water can crack your glass or cause you to burn yourself and drop your piece. -There is no need to use 90% isopropyl alcohol, the 70% works just as well and costs half as much. I just use my dishwasher. :D. Another tip for cleaning pipes with the ziploc method: I throw in a couple Q-tips in the bag with the pipe and alcohol/salt. That way when cleaning it out, you can use the Qtips to clean out the resin, makes it a lot easier. There are many products on the market that you can purchase to clean the resin out of your pipes, bubblers, and bongs however, prices can run $20 a bottle or more, so it can get expensive quick. I love the taste of smoking a fresh bowl of dank weed out of a clean pipe so I clean my pieces regularly Rinse as much of the bong with water first and then allow it to dry. Use water as hot as you can stand without dropping the bong. 3. Pour in salt. Pour Epsom salt or table salt into the bowl and the mouthpiece. You can use a funnel if this makes it easier. Pour in however much is appropriate for the size of the bong. An average bong would need about 1/3-1/2 a cup. 1  Alternatively, you can use baking soda if you prefer the taste To clean the stem piece, use the same cleaner as you use on the unit, just get bamboo skewers from the dollar store and scrape it off, cotton swaps are a good tool as well. If you don’t keep nasty water in your unit, as in, dump it and get clean water every session, it’ll be a billion times easier to clean too. -There is no need for water to be especially hot.

Now I just have to clean it a few more times with alcohol and rinse it so there aren’t traces of CLR. Use this method when all others fail. says: December 25, 2011 at 7:40 am. I just rinse out the piece with warm water, then fill it with alcohol and salt, stick it in a plastic bag, and shake it like crazy. -There is no need for water to be especially hot.

If you have tipped the water out of your bong and there is a brown stain where the water used to be, then all you need to do is boil some water, put a teaspoon of bi-carb soda (found at any food shops) in the boiling water and stir it until the bi-carb soda is all dissolved. 3.

Place your thumb on the hole of the downstem and place your other hand on the mouthpiece. You can use plastic cellophane to seal the mouthpiece. That way it's possible to hold the piece with your other hand for extra grip.
