Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Gravity Bongs
Step 1: Disassemble & Empty
Remove your tube from your base, dump your water, and rinse the tube & base. Some people prefer to dump used water into plants or outside so they don’t risk their plumbing. Water your garden or don’t; just get rid of that water!
Step 2: Alcohol Soak & Scrub
Soak your gravity bong pieces in an ISO, hot water, & salt solution. Scrub the tough gunk with any brushes or cotton swabs. You can also do your best to shake the solution in the base, allowing the salt to act as an abrasive. Remember, avoid any abrasives while cleaning the outside of the glass to protect its beautiful surface!
Step 3: Cleaning Your Bowl
Place your bowl in a reusable silicone bag, tupperware, or jar with an ISO/water/salt solution. Let the bowl soak & use cotton swabs for any leftover residue.
Step 4: Rinse and Dry
Make sure you rinse all the cleaning solution from your gravity bong pieces. Dry all pieces thoroughly before use. Enjoy your fresh gravity bong!
