We’ve all been there. You load up your favorite strain, get everything set for a smooth hit… and then: ugh. The taste is off, the pull is not as strong and your top-shelf Jersey flower is now mixing with week-old bong water and a downstem that is caked in black tar.
As your friendly local dispensary, we at Pure Blossom are here to remind you to please clean your bong. Think about it, would you pour cereal into a bowl that had been sitting out for days with sour milk? The same goes for your cannabis.
Why Clean Your Bong?
- Dirty bongs aren’t just unappealing to look at; they also alter the flavor and disrupt the overall experience. Your cannabis deserves better.
- Bongs are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, yeast and a few other unmentionables. A good rule of thumb is if you wouldn’t drink out of it, don’t smoke out of it.
- A clean bong means no more apologizing for how it looks before you light up or hiding it away.
- Like anything, it gets easier the more you do it. A quick rinse after each session means less weekend projects where you are soaking and scraping.
How to Clean Your Bong
The good news? Cleaning your bong is easy. You should be giving it a quick rinse with warm water after every use to prevent buildup. Pro tip: empty out your bong when not in use!
When it’s time for a deeper clean, here’s what we recommend:
- Mixture of rubbing alcohol, water and Epsom salts
- Bong cleaner – Our current favorite is Randy’s Black Label Multipurpose Cleaner. Just add, shake, soak and rinse.
- Water bottle tablets
- A soft brush, pipe cleaners or Q-tips for the hard-to-reach spots
