How To Clean A Bong
Bongs are a blast to smoke with, but if you don’t clean them regularly, they can become breeding grounds for resin, biofilm, and bacteria. Smoking from a dirty bong isn’t just gross; it’s also dangerous.
Let’s face it—cleaning a bong can feel like a big chore. But don’t worry! Keeping your bong clean can be easy and even fun with products like the BoroBuddy Magnetic Bong Cleaner and Rez Relief Cleaning Solution from Snow Tree. This guide will walk you through the best and simplest way to clean your bong. Let’s dive in!
Why Cleaning Your Bong Is Important
Before jumping into the cleaning process, let’s discuss why keeping your bong clean is crucial.
Health Benefits
A dirty bong can turn into a petri dish for mold and nasty bacteria like strep, staph, and E. coli. Inhaling from a dirty bong means you’re breathing in all that gross stuff directly into your lungs. Trust me.. you don’t want that! It can lead to serious respiratory problems.
Take care of your lungs by keeping your bong clean.
Improved Smoking Experience
Smoking from a clean bong enhances your experience. Just like you wouldn’t serve fresh food on a dirty plate, you shouldn’t smoke from a dirty bong.
Old bong water and resin can overpower the subtle flavors of your strain and give you a harsh hit. Plus, buildup can restrict airflow, making it harder to take those big hits you crave. Clean your bong, and you’ll notice the difference right away.
Longevity of the Bong
Bongs aren’t cheap. You want yours to last! Regular cleaning prevents permanent stains, etching, cracks, and breakage down the road. Keep your bong clean, and it will serve you well for years to come.
The Best Ways To Clean Your Bong
Now that we’ve covered why cleaning your bong is essential, let’s explore how to do it. There are many methods out there, from homemade solutions to specialized products. We’ll focus on a simple cleaning process to make your stoner life easier.
BoroBuddy Magnetic Bong Cleaner
One reason we procrastinate on cleaning our bongs is the effort involved. The thought of scrubbing with pipe cleaners, bottle brushes, q-tips, and cotton swabs, trying to get into every nook and cranny, is overwhelming. But what if there was a quicker, easier way? Well, BoroBuddy Magnetic Bong Cleaner is the answer.
This magnetic system uses strong magnets to clean every corner of your bong without any scrubbing required. Drop the magnetic cleaning pads into your bong, and as you move the external wand around the outside, the pads scrub away tough resin buildup.
How to Use BoroBuddy (Step-by-Step Guide)
Step 1: Prep Your Piece
Start by rinsing your bong with hot water to loosen any debris.
Step 2: Attach the Pad
Stick the blue cleaning pad to the matching BoroBuddy Pad Holder.
Step 3: Add Cleaning Solution (Optional)
For a deeper clean, add some isopropyl alcohol or Rez Relief cleaner to your bong, especially if it hasn’t been cleaned in a while.
Step 4: Insert the Cleaner
Drop the pad holder (with the cleaning pad attached) into the joint or neck of your bong.
Step 5: Connect the Handle
The BoroBuddy handle will magnetically connect to the pad holder inside your bong.
Step 6: Start Scrubbing
Move the magnetic handle around the outside of your bong. The cleaning pad will follow and scrub away any residue.
Step 7: Remove the Pads
Use the included tweezers to take out the dirty cleaning pad.
Step 8: Rinse and Enjoy
Once you’ve scrubbed all areas, rinse your bong thoroughly with water. Admire your handiwork—your bong should look fantastic!
