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:
- Empty and rinse your piece with warm water.
 - Fill with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt.
 - Cover all openings and shake gently for 30–60 seconds.
 - Let it soak for tough buildup (10–30 minutes).
 - Rinse with warm water until clean.
 Use cotton swabs or brushes for stubborn spots.
💡 Tip: Clean once a week to avoid resin buildup and bad taste.
