If you are looking for a durable, flexible and affordable bong, you might want to consider getting a silicone bong. Silicone bongs are made of food-grade silicone, which is resistant to heat, scratches and bacteria. Silicone bongs also come in a variety of styles and colors, making them fun and easy to customize.

However, like any other bong, silicone bongs need to be cleaned regularly to maintain their performance and hygiene. Cleaning a silicone bong is not difficult, but it does require some specific methods and materials. In this blog post, we will show you how to clean a silicone bong using three simple methods: soap and water, freezer and alcohol and salt.

Method 1: Soap and Water

This method is the easiest and most convenient way to clean a silicone bong. All you need is some warm water, dish soap and a bottle brush. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Remove the bowl and downstem from the bong and set them aside on a safe place.
  2. Dump out the used bong water in the sink and rinse the bong with warm water for a few minutes. Shake the bong to help loosen and dissolve the resin.
  3. Pour some dish soap inside the bong and swirl it around. You can also add some baking soda for extra cleaning power.
  4. Use a bottle brush to scrub the inside of the bong, reaching all the corners and crevices. You can bend and twist the silicone bong as you clean it without worrying about breaking it.
  5. Rinse the bong thoroughly with warm water until all the soap and resin are gone.
  6. Dry the bong with a towel or let it air dry upside down on a dish rack.

Method 2: Freezer

This method is perfect for those who are too tired or lazy to clean their silicone bong right after use. The idea is to freeze the resin inside the bong, making it easier to peel off later. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Remove the bowl and downstem from the bong and set them aside on a safe place.
  2. Rinse the bong with warm water to remove any ash and debris. Shake out the excess water so that the bong is wet but not dripping.
  3. Put the bong in a freezer-safe bag or container and place it in the freezer for at least an hour or overnight.
  4. Take out the frozen bong and squeeze it gently to crack the resin. You can also use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape off the resin from the inside of the bong.
  5. Rinse the bong with warm water to remove any remaining resin bits.
  6. Dry the bong with a towel or let it air dry upside down on a dish rack.

Method 3: Alcohol and Salt

This method is similar to how you would clean a glass bong, but with some modifications. You will need some rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol), coarse salt (kosher salt or sea salt) and some ziplock bags or containers. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Remove the bowl and downstem from the bong and place them in separate ziplock bags or containers.
  2. Pour some rubbing alcohol into each bag or container until the bowl and downstem are submerged. Add some salt as well.
  3. Seal the bags or containers and shake them vigorously for a few minutes. The alcohol will dissolve the resin while the salt will act as an abrasive scrubber.
  4. Pour some rubbing alcohol into the bong until it is half full. Add some salt as well.
  5. Cover the openings of the bong with your hands or some plastic wrap and shake it vigorously for a few minutes.
  6. Dump out the alcohol-salt solution from each bag or container and from the bong. Rinse everything with warm water until all the alcohol and salt are gone.
  7. Dry everything with a towel or let them air dry upside down on a dish rack.

Tips for Cleaning a Silicone Bong

  • Do not use boiling water, bleach, acetone or other harsh chemicals to clean your silicone bong. They can damage or discolor the silicone material.
  • Do not use metal tools or sharp objects to scrape or poke your silicone bong. They can scratch or puncture the silicone material.
  • Do not put your silicone bong in the dishwasher or microwave. They can melt or deform the silicone material.
  • Do not smoke herb or tobacco that is too moist or sticky in your silicone bong. They can leave more resin and make it harder to clean.
  • Clean your silicone bong regularly, preferably after every use or at least once a week. This will prevent resin buildup and keep your bong fresh and smooth.

Conclusion

Cleaning a silicone bong is not a hard task, but it does require some care and attention. By following the methods and tips we have shared in this blog post, you can keep your silicone bong clean and enjoy its benefits for a long time. Remember, a clean bong is a happy bong!
