Best Cleaner For Bongs

OUR TOP PICK

Orange Chronic Glass Cleaner

This first bong cleaner is designed specially to give your bong that super-clean sheen without leaving any aftertaste or smell.

This works fast and won’t cause any misting or scuffing on your glass.

If you want a cleaner that will not affect the taste of your bong, then this is a great cleaner to opt for.

Not only does this leave no aftertaste, but it will leave your bong pulling and hitting better than ever before.

This contains no harsh chemicals, so you won’t have to worry about polluting your body after you have used it. This is also what will help you reduce the chemical level in your weed.

This bong cleaner is also very easy to apply (see also "How To Use A Bong"). You won’t even have to shake it (which can often result in more damage being done to your glass bong).

All you need to do is place the stated dose of bong cleaner and leave it for 30 seconds. You might need to swirl it around to dislodge some of the larger particles.

Once you have done this then rinse it out with some hot water and wipe it down with a cloth.

Alternatively, you can always leave it to air dry if you are not going to be using your bong within the next 24 hours. This will ensure an extra degree of freshness upon next use.

This will also work on bongs that contain metal components. For all-round versatility, we can’t find a better bong cleaner.

• Works in 60 seconds – this is a great cleaner to use if you want your bong clean and ready for a smoke in the next few minutes (see also "How To Clean Silicone Bongs").
• Works on glass and metal – if your bong is a composite of many different materials, then you should use this solution. Works on copper and brass too.
• No harsh chemicals – if you want to avoid any bad aftertaste and any potential nausea, then this is the bong cleaner for you.
• Clean thoroughly – whether you are going to need your bong for display purposes or you are going to be using it regularly, this cleaner leaves you with zero remnants.

• Pricey – this is not too expensive, but if you are very OCD when it comes to keeping your bong clean, then you might find yourself spending more money on a luxury cleaner like this.

Dr. Drabber Cleaning Swabs

If you like to be quite surgical when it comes to cleaning your bongs, then why not pick up some swabs?

These will allow you to clean all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, which is very helpful if your bong is quite ornate.

This is a pack of ISO wipes, which means that they are covered in cleaning alcohol.

This will not only help you to remove some of the more stubborn stains, but it will help you to disinfect your bong.

This is great if you want to clean a particular part of your bong rather than the whole thing.

Often, your bong will need to be treated in a specific area and a swab is a perfect tool for helping you to do that.

This pack comes with 24 swabs, which is great if you want to regularly maintain your bong in certain areas rather than cleaning the whole thing with solution every week.

This will also help you to clean smaller bongs that solutions might find hard to clean completely.

This is safe to use with many different materials, including glass, ceramics and plastic.

If you have a collection of bongs made from all different materials, then having swabs like these in your drawer will be a Godsend.

Pros

• Plenty of swabs – this is great if you want enough cleaning materials to last you for a long time. You only must use a few swabs to clean one area of your bong.
• Multi-surface – no matter what the bong is made from, these swabs will not cause any structural damage. You can easily glide this over the top of ceramic or plastic and the results will be super clean.
• Bacteria-killing – these are dabbed in alcohol, so you can guarantee that they will kill all bacteria, which is great if you are dealing with mold.
• In-depth cleaning – this will leave your bong a lot cleaner than some of the liquid-based bong cleaning solutions.

Cons

• Takes a while to clean with swabs – this will require a lot more attention than liquid cleaners, which you can just swill around and empty quickly.

Next up, we have a powder that you can add to water that will give you much more in-depth cleanliness.

This takes only minutes to get your bong sparkling and will not involve any vigorous shaking.

All you need to do is fill your bong with it and wait for a few minutes.

Users have commented on the miraculous results of this powder. You won’t have to use much of it to get sparkling results, as it only requires about 1 – 2 teaspoons.

This is specially designed to clean bongs, so you won’t have to worry about it leaving too much of a chemical aftertaste.

This is very important if you want a hit on your bong soon after you have cleaned it.

This is also very decently priced, coming in a generous tub for just over $10.

You can get over 30 cleans from this one tub. If you clean your bong regularly, you will probably have to use it even less.

Pros

• Great value for money – if you are looking for a bong cleaning solution that won’t drain your resources and that you can use for months on end, then why not try this one?
