  2. Shake the bong for several minutes. Remember, the more you shake your piece, the cleaner it will be.

Bong Maintenance Tips


 

One cannot stress the importance of cleaning especially if you are a regular bong user. A clean bong translates not only to a flavorful smoking experience but a bacteria-free, healthier one. Indeed, you need to exert some effort, but there are ways in which you can maintain your bong’s tidy state.

 

Listed here are some suggestions on keeping a cleaner bong.

 

  • Store bong minus the H2O


 

This works for users who only use their piece from time to time. This step requires you only to put water on the bong whenever you smoke. Drain the bong of its contents before storing it.

 

  • Use lemon juice to stop bong build up.


 

To maintain a cleaner bong, you can add drops of fresh lemon juice on the water. The juice of the lemons comes with active enzymes which stop dregs from accumulating on the inner parts of the bong. It also keeps the water fresh and prevents the dreaded bong water smell.

 

Do not go overboard with the juice—a few drops will do the trick.

 

  • Consider the use of external attachments to maintain a tidy bong.


 

You can buy add-ins for your bong to keep it neat at all times. One such example is the ash catcher. Ashes, resin and other sorts of debris fly straight to the bong each time you smoke—prevent this from happening by using an ash catcher.

Ash catchers will help prevent dirt build up inside your piece, thus making it more pristine, longer.

Green-cleaning your bong has its benefits. You won’t have to deal with toxic residue after say, cleaning a bong stem. Besides, these natural procedures are also more affordable. Majority of basic cleaning procedures only need simple ingredients, and they can be found at home, the grocery store or supermarket.
