Use the Right Equipment
When cleaning a bong, one of the most common mistakes is not using the proper equipment. You don't want to use just any brush or cleaning liquid on your bong. These can leave your bong improperly cleaned or give it a horrible taste. In the worst cases, these can permanently damage your bong.
You should always use a brush when cleaning your bong, but ensure it is the correct tool for the job. A good bong brush has a long handle so it can properly reach into the chamber and neck.
Even with a good brush, many bong designs have intricate and hard-to-reach areas, and that's why you need to invest in a high-quality cleaning liquid. Always take care to read the product's instructions before use not all cleaners will be meant for all materials.
Clean Your Bong Sooner Rather Than Later
No one feels like cleaning right after a great bong session. However, it's important not to let dirty bong water sit around for too long, as it can make cleaning even more difficult. Even if you aren’t going to clean your bong straight away, it can be a good idea to let it soak in some water until you do get around to cleaning it.
Consider the Properties of Your Bong
When cleaning your bong, it's important to take its unique properties into account. Not all bongs will be cleaned the same way.
If your bong is made of glass, you will need to be extra careful. Glass bongs may be easier to clean than other materials, but they can also be more fragile, and can break if cleaned too aggressively.
Silicone bongs, on the other hand, are practically unbreakable. These bongs can even be cleaned using a dishwasher!
