How to clean your bong or dab rig (and what to use)

🧽 Keep your hits smooth — not swampy.


Cleaning your bong or dab rig regularly not only improves taste but also extends the life of your piece. Here’s how to do it right:


🧴 What you’ll need:

  • 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol
  • Coarse salt (like sea salt or Epsom)
  • Plastic bags or containers (for removable parts)
  • Cotton swabs or pipe cleaners


⚠️ Clean smart, stay safe.


Isopropyl alcohol is your best friend for cleaning glass, but here’s how to use it the right way.


✅ DO:

  • Use 91% or higher alcohol for best results
  • Work in a well-ventilated area
  • Rinse thoroughly after cleaning
  • Let glass fully dry before using it again


❌ DON’T:

  • Mix with hot water — it can stress the glass
  • Use on wood or silicone parts
  • Smoke before the alcohol fully evaporates


🌀 Step-by-step:

  1. Empty and rinse your piece with warm water.
  2. Fill with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt.
  3. Cover all openings and shake gently for 30–60 seconds.
  4. Let it soak for tough buildup (10–30 minutes).
  5. Rinse with warm water until clean.
  6. Use cotton swabs or brushes for stubborn spots.


💡 Tip: Clean once a week to avoid resin buildup and bad taste.
