    Step 1 - Remove all downstem and bowl and other accessories and water from your bong water pipe.

    Step 2 - Fill the bong water pipe with about 15-20% full of Rubbing alcohol and about 4-5 tablespoons of salt ( the coarser the grain the better )

    Step 3 - With One hand covering the mouthpiece of the bong and the other hand covering the joint where the glass downstem goes. Hold the bong up securely in both hands and SHAKE! The salt will act as an abrasive and scrub off all that baked and caked on resin, leaving you with a sparkling clean bong.

    This method works best on large simple bong likes straight shooters and beakers, if you have a complicated piece like a recycler or a multi honeycomb or frit disc this method may not work as great for you because the salt won’t have room to move around.
