bong in the dishwasher?

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?

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

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

Peace

brilliant,

just dont melt the bong

go warm not hot

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.

Im trying this today! cuz my bong is plastic so nuthin will happen to it if i put it in there, also cuz my bong is kinda hard to clean becuz its long, so ill tell u all how it goes!:thumbsup::jointsmile:
Here's a pic of Green Bean,so u know wat i mean!:D


Keep on Tokin:stoned:

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!!!

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 ?

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.
