How often do you clean your pieces and change the bong water?..

So, how often do you clean your pieces and change the bong water?...
With dry pipes and what not i will usually just let the resin build up until the pipe has "finished" or "matured" as i call it, where the entire piece has changed color and filled with resin. Or if the piece gets nasty, clogged, or if i am traveling i will clean it out.
With bongs and bubs i will change the water anywhere from once a day to a couple times a week just depending how much bud gets smoked, the ash catcher water will get changed a few times a day. I really can't stand dirty water, it looks nasty, smells horrible, makes the hit taste like shit, and is a huge mess if it gets spilled. I hate it when people just leave the water to sit and stew in their bong for weeks or months. I will clean my bongs and bubs about once a month or every couple weeks. When lots of resin gets built up in any piece i just have to clean it, i like the taste of bud to much. And a few times a week with alcohol i will clean off the top of the bong where you put your mouth, has anyone actually looked at how nasty this area can get over time...
To clean I always use isopropyl alcohol with some salt, works perfectly every time. Gets even the most stubborn resin off...
And i was wondering....When i clean out pieces sometimes i will have some really good resin built up that's more brown and is super oily/sticky/potent, where the flame hasn't touched it and turned the resin into charred black shit....So could i do an alcohol extraction on the resin and get something?...

I cleaned my pipes yesterday. And by cleaning i mean i boiled them both for about 30 minutes then strained out the black shit that got left over. Now i am smoking on that black shit. it does me goood when i have absolutely no more herb. But to answer your question i rarely clean my stuff. The bong that i have is used on only celebratory occassions and hasn't been used in a while, but has been cleaned only a few times in the 2 yrs ive had it. my pipes get a boiling and an alcohol wash every year or so.
