soak it and scrub with soap or something like that, then wash the soap off? That's wut i do :confused:
Use Formula 420 .... it is awesome.
They have different versions for glass/metal and plastic. I haven't tried the plastic - since I got a glass water pipe, I haven't used anything else. I've let the glass get really bad from time to time, and this stuff cleans it out like new.
It looks like it's a mixture of rock salt and a sweet smelling liquid. You pour it in, shake it up for a minute (longer for really dirty ones) and you're done. You need to rinse well afterward. Make sure you shake it up well before use, or you won't get the salt in there, and you'll waste it. You might need to use a pipe cleaner to work some stuff loose.
I find it at my local head shop for about $8 for a 12 oz bottle. One bottle usually lasts me about 2-3 cleans.
Nice tip there ...
rubbing alcohol and salt thats all you need!
i have a 14 inch roor beaker and whenever i use salt and rub alc it doesnt work. how much salt do you put in like a cup?
Dont waste your money on store bought cleaners, rubbing alcohool and salt work fine. The only difference is the smell, and If you rinse it out enough, it doesnt even matter.
You need ALOT of salt, and less alcohol. You need the mixture to be a little more liquid than sludge.. Does that make sense? Basically you want to be able to shake it around okay in there, but still have it really thick with salt.
yep formula 420 rocks ,
it just takes a lil bit too . it's gonna put the grunge off ppl. outa biz.
peace
ok i used to just put a litttttle bit of salt. im gonna have a clean bonggggggg
Yeah, you need ALOT of salt to scrub all that resin out.. You dont need to fill it all the way with alcohol either, just like 1/4 of the way would be plenty. Otherwise it will get too hard to shake around effectively.
my advice is to like everyone says get some formula 420 cleaner but make sure its for ACRYLIC not glass or metal. i guess you could use rubbing alcohol and salt but im not sure if it will make the acrylic worse. but really the best thing to do is save your money and next time you buy a bong BUY A GLASS ONE! you'll thank yourself after the 4 fourth bowl of nice ganja...
another recommendation for formula 420.
works great and it's fast. i'm sure salt/rubbing alc. would do a similar type of cleaning .. but it's easy to just go buy a bottle and have it always ready to clean the bowl or the whole bong.
and i've cleaned my bong at least 10+ times and i'm on the same bottle of cleaner .. you really only need a little for it to work .. i've let my bong go for a week without cleaning and just a quick squirt of the stuff gets it like new.
personally when cleaning my actual bongs out (as in cleaning them, not trying to harvest resin from the bowl or w/e) a mixture of 2 parts mouthwash (helps get it as fresh as it can be) 1 part alcohol and roughly a tablespoon of salt i found to work very well...
im not gonna clean my glass bong
im just gonna wait a couple years till it just gets packed with so much resin and brake that mothafucker, then smoke the resin and buy a new bong
Oxy clean works better than formula 420, the guy from my head shop even said so. Just put some oxy clean in there, fill it with hot water, shake it and let it sit. It will chew the grunge right off, then just rinse with warm water and you're good to go. You can clean small pipes the same way, but put oxy clean and water in a baggie and put the pipe in there.
ok i filled the base of my roor half way up and then put some rubbing alcohol in there so it was sludge. then shook it around and it cleaned it up in like 30 seconds. i didnt get the neck that well because i was too exciting but its very effective and easy. i just poured it all in the toilet and flushed it.
