How I Clean My Bongs
wait.. what? with a chopstick!?
So as you can imagine, cleaning 16 bongs can be quite a daunting task (If you haven’t read my previous blog.. yes I own 16 bongs :O Check them out here). So, over the years we’ve tried a ton of different techniques to clean up our billies, this technique is what works best for us.
It depends what type of bong you have when it comes to cleaning. It is much easier to clean straight pipe bongs and beaker bongs than it is to clean bongs with percolators and bits and pieces. This technique works well for all types of bongs. All you need is a few things; boiling water, a spoolie/straw cleaning brush, orange cleaner, some containers a chux cloth and a chopstick.
Here are my tools-
Okay now you know the tools you need, let’s get into the method.
Step 1- Empty out all the bong water and dissemble the bongs, putting all the pipes together and all the bowls and cones together, you’ll need two containers, one to put all the pipes in and one to put the bowls and cones in.
Step 2- Boil ya water, pour a tablespoon of orange cleaner over the pipes and a tablespoon of orange cleaner over your cones and bowls, then fill the containers with boiling water and leave for about an hour.
Step 3- Flush ya bongs. Overfill your bongs in the sink with some warm water until all of your loose ash and gunk has been purged out. Most of my bongs are too tall to flush them directly from the sink tap so I use a cup to pour the water in from the top. If you are lucky enough to have one of the detachable taps, I envy you.. goals!
Step 4- Put a teaspoon of orange cleaner in the bottom of each bong then fill each bong with boiling water, leave for about an hour. You don't necessarily have to run out and find this exact orange cleaner, I've used two different brands of orange cleaner before and they are pretty much the same, they all will get the jobs done.
Step 5- So its been an hour, come back and let's tackle the pipes and bowls and cones first. Grab ya cleaning brushes and clean out all the gunk – it should be very easy – once clean put down on a tea towel or some paper towel to dry. Using the chopstick to get into those hard to reach areas. Please excuse my wrinkly fingers.. as you can imagine, this takes some time when you have 16 bongs and do them all on the same day.
Step 6- Bong time, one at a time empty half of the water orange mixture out and swish your bong around in circles until fully clean, empty the rest of the liquid and purge the bong with warm water in the sink again like we did in step 3. Repeat until all 16 bongs are clean. If the swishing around isnt getting rid of all the gunk around the sides, you may need to put more orange cleaner in and some freshly boiled hot water and wait another half an hour or so. My biggest tip for cleaning such a large amount of bongs would be to have a show or something on in the background so you dont get bored af.
And that’s it! Sparkling clean, ready for you to dirty up again!! Heehe
