How To Take Care Of Glass Bongs

Bong is great; cleaning it is not so important. Some people with more cash than patience will even go so far as to buy a new bong instead of cleaning the old one. Most marijuana consumers will not accept this level, but the truth is that there is some truth to the dirty-bong-on-the-coffee-table stereotype: after all, depending on your method, it may be inconvenient to remove the resin from the water pipe, and it may not be possible.

Fortunately, this is not a chore. With some precautions and proper cleaning products, clear glass can become the standard for your bongs. The following guidelines will help you keep your glass clean and keep it that way.

How to clean the bong

Pour out the dirty water and rinse the inside of the bong with warm water. Pour out the water.

Pour the cleaning solution into the bong. There are many different cleaning solutions, including isopropanol and salt.

Cover the opening of the bong. You can use your hands or paper towels, but products specifically designed for water pipes, such as the Silicone Cleaning Cap, work best.

Shake the bong vigorously until all the resin comes off the glass and floats in the cleaning solution. Letting the solution soak for a while can help the rosin, but you don't have to wait.

Sometimes you will have one or two particularly stubborn spots. To get rid of these spots, you can use a pipe brush.

Pour out the cleaning solution and rinse the inside of the pipe with warm water. If your glass looks fuzzy, wash it again with a small amount of cleaning solution, and then rinse it again with warm water.

Fill up with fresh filtered water, load, and enjoy!

Bong maintenance: how to prevent mold, water stains, and more

Water stains

Using unfiltered spring or tap water in your water pipes can cause water damage due to the mineral content. These marks are difficult to remove, but fortunately, they are easy to avoid. To prevent this from happening, be sure to fill your pipe with filtered water. It is also a good idea to use filtered water during the cleaning process, but it is not necessary-just make sure to rinse with filtered water after cleaning.

Mold stains

These are the worst-they are not only disgusting but also difficult to remove. Therefore, it is best to avoid them altogether. Changing the water in the bong or every day and thoroughly cleaning it once a week will help prevent them.

Scratches

There are only a few ways to remove scratches on the glass. These methods are quite complex processes, requiring the use of specific tools, and there is a risk of deformation or damage during the process. Let's start with an obvious tip to prevent scratches-be careful! 

Breakage

This is probably the most important thing to prevent. If you knock your bong over or drop it, it is likely to break-if you break the bong, you can't use it! Of course, this is obvious, but you must be careful of the pipe and the bong. When not in use, put glassware in a bong bag or hard case to reduce the chance of breakage.
