They sell bong cleaning fluids at head shops all across the nation.  :smile:  But yeah I'd think salt and acetone would work.  It works for pipes too.

I wouldn't use acetone to clean a bong.. use rubbing alcohol and salt.

Rubbing alcohol only does half the job for me, and its not the strongest solvent in the world. Would acetone be harmful to my bong or my health?

Your crazy...!! Acetone!! thats used for cleaning paint brushes and shit like that...thats super super corrosive, imagine that in your lungs...NO WAY!! Listen, keeping pipes and bongs clean is as simple as cleaning the damn thing after you use it...Just use detergent and hot water, swish it around and Ywhalas !!!

You could also wrap it up in a fancy bong bag and keep it in the fridge. Thats what I do with my simple pipe mech up, and it keeps just like water. ^_^ of coarse, I have to be cautious so being lazy isnt an option, I have to cover up my tracks.

Possibly - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetone

But it says it's readily water soluble..so rinse it real good? It's also used to make cordite.


Alcohol is safe.. and cheap. I find it cleans perfect. Just pour a liberal amount in with a bunch of salt.. plug the holes and shake the shit out of it, then let it sit. Repeat if necessary.

Acetone is fine, as long as you have plenty of ventilation, and are not near any sources of heat or flame, also don't ingest it of course.

my theory is that it reacts with the alcohol to make some sort of magical cleaning alchemical transmutation :smirk:

The salt acts as an abrasive to scrub off the resin while the alcohol dissolves it. Epsom salt is very coarse and works really well.

I realize this thread is basically dead and gone but I can’t let people read this guys comment and take it as fact.

*Acetone is not corrosive*

Now it is slightly corrosive obviously but not enough to warrant having a corrosive sticker slapped on ever 55 gallon drum. Actually it’s less corrosive than the minimum corrosion allowance for pipelines every year.

Acetone is a solvent that is very good at breaking down resin based materials and when you smoke weed you create resin.

Now how to use acetone to safety clean your bong: first there are a couple of important things to know about acetone
1. It will ruin anything paint based so don’t spill it on a table with a sealer coat.
2. It will break most plastics down, not all but play on the safe side to avoid spilling a bunch of acetone all over the place by putting some in a red solo cup to soak an atomizer for a while.
3. Don’t huff the stuff, if you’re in a normal sized room and not a closet you don’t have to worry about it but open a window just in case. Breathing it in won’t kill you but you’ll get a nasty headache after half an hour.
4. Acetone evaporates very fast but that doesn’t mean it’s completely gone because acetone leaves a minuscule film after evaporation.
4. It’s flammable duh. Obviously everyone knows acetone is flammable but not everyone considers its flash point, and this ties into number 3 because the flash point of a liquid is the lowest temp it can get to before giving off a vapor that can be ignited to cause an explosion. So if you had a ton of acetone in a small room with no airflow and lit a match after a few hours the whole room would ignite.

With that in mind let’s clean a bong. Before anything take your acetone and put it in a container with a slightly open lid and throw it in a bowl of hot water for 20 minutes (trust)

Next I use course sea salt and industrial strength acetone (I wouldn’t use nail polish remover) I just dump a bunch of salt in every orifice and follow with some acetone, I use the maximum amount of acetone to cover as much of the inside as possible. Follow with a shake while plugging the holes with my thumbs, and then I let it sit for up to an hour, if you want to let it sit overnight you need to seal any openings so the acetone doesn’t flash off.

After I wait I shake again and dump it out. Follow that with a few rinses of hot and cold water let sit until it dries out and bobs your uncle. Brand new bong every time.

Heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Heated iso cleans pipes super well.

The salt adds friction.
Without the friction. It would take a lot of heat to make all of that tar come off.
With the alcohol, it is dissolving it. But it can only go so far. It would take a lot of alcohol on its own to do the job. But the two combined. Works really well.
The trick is to get a cork or something to plug the stem.
Then you just shake the shit out of it. Or spin it really quickly.
