🧽 Step-by-Step Cleaning Method

Step 1: Empty Your Bong

Dump the dirty water and rinse the bottle with warm water.

Step 2: Add Salt and Alcohol

Pour 2 tablespoons of salt into the bottle, followed by a few ounces of rubbing alcohol.

Step 3: Shake It

Cover the opening with your hand or a cap, and shake the bottle hard for 30–60 seconds. The salt scrubs the resin while the alcohol breaks it down.

Step 4: Clean the L-stem

Put your L-stem and bowl into a Ziplock bag with alcohol + salt, then shake. Rinse with hot water (use Q-tip for harder angles to reach for L-stem)

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Rinse everything with clean water and let air dry.
