bong in the dishwasher?

[aeonblue11]

i was thinking, could this be an easy way to clean it out, i figure it cleans kitchen glasses well. why not a water pipe?

[Metaphor]

go for it, dont forget to put your slide in the silverware tray thing

[FakeBoobsRule]

Try salt and alcohol first.

I hope someone tries this so I can know if it is safe, as I am tired of cleaning my bong :) he he

brilliant,

just dont melt the bong

go warm not hot

[Innominate]

Be VERY careful about temperature, you could put a crack in it. I would find some other way to clean it.

I doubt the spray jets would be able to hit the chamber. unless it got hot and melted out.

Well, I did it!:DI put my bong in the dishwasher and it came out pretty clean!:jointsmile: Even cleaner if u soak with alcohol first! but i didnt use alcohol this time, and it still came out pretty clean!:DSo, its a good idea, especially if it's glass!Glass cleans better in the dishwasher!:jointsmile:I totally rep'd u Aeon blue for the good idea, since my bong waz long it waz hard to clean!:thumbsup:

I've been meaning to do it for some time now but I always thought it might leave a noticeable odor. Guess not :jointsmile:

97% rubbing alcohol and salt....dishwasher is good, wouldnt put my roor in the dishwasher!!!

[stinkyattic]

It depends on the piece.
I put mine in the dishwasher, knowing that the glass they are made of is dishwasher safe. I run it at warm, not hot, temps, and don't use the pots n pans setting.
The water pipes never come quite clean that way because the dish soap is not the correct solvent for the resin buildup (salt + alcohol is indeed a better choice), but it is a quick thing that I can do a couple times a week when I happen to be running the dishes anyway, and it really keeps that stale-bong smell in check.

I've been meaning to ask about good cleaning techniques.
I don't know if I have any alcohol, is there anything else that works with salt ?

[stinkyattic]

It's actually not the salt that is the important bit, it's the solvent, isopropanol.
Salt is really useful because it is not very soluble in a solution of 70% isopropanol, which is your average rubbing alcohol- some WILL be dissolved in the water, but you will still have salt crystals in there, and they act as a gentle abrasive to clean your glassware. The resin is further softened by, and ultimately dissolved into, the isopropanol, which functions as a non-polar solvent (water is a polar solvent).
A bottle of rubbing alcohol is like a buck... go look under the seat of your car and you will find enough change to go buy some! :D

I wouldn't try it. There is probably a big risk of putting a crack in it if its glass.
