Cleaning Glass Bowl

[Rhea0Reefer]

Nail polish remover! w/ acetone

afterwards wash it well to get the chemicals off

its works!!!

if its inside of your bowl- get an old pot boil water nail polish and some white vinegar-- submerge the bowl and you can see chips of resin come off

Alcohol and the salt treatment works fairly well.


Warm your alcohol in the microwave for about 30 seconds, pour into your bowl/bong and then pour some salt in and swish it around.


Should do fine. ^_^

To a headshop and buy Formula 420. I admit, there are better (cheaper) ways to clean a pipe... but that stuff will at least show you HOW clean you can get your pipe. I didn't clean one of my bowls for a couple of years. I bought some of that stuff and in about 10 minutes I saw what the pipe looked like when I first bought it! :thumbsup:

You can also get a feel for the consistency and ingredients of Formula 420 and then make it yourself with some alcohol, salt, and citrus juice.

Have fun and Happy Cleaning :jointsmile:

Put a cup of water in the microwave and get it boiling then drop your pipe in the cup for about 5 minutes. THe cup will start looking like a fucked up cup of coffee... your pipe should be clean if not grab a cu tip and clean it more but hot water really does the trick. THen you have to get a few paper towels and use them to strain the resing from the water in the cup if you want to keep your resin...

but if you just want to clean the bowl itself just get it hot and wipe it out with some tissue...

Yeah go with the rubbing alcohol and salt. Let it sit in the alcohol for a few hours and then throw in the salt and shake it up good. The salt helps to get the stuff out where q-tips dont reach.

Don't use a good POT but you can boil them in water and they get 90% clean if not even better w/o alcohol Just use a POT that you don't care about...

Try and not take the advice of anyone who tells you to put your glass in ANY type of hot water. Taking your glass from hot/warm water to cold or cool water will give it a bigger chance of shattering. I personally use Isopropyl Alcohol (100%) and COOKING SALT because the grains are a little bigger. I also have a spcial tool called the original BUDDY, its like the thing they use to clean fishtanks. Its a Magnet that has little scrubbers on one side and you drop it into your bong and can scrub the inside from the outside. I do this while the alcohol is still in the water portion of the bong. Works great! Just dont use the hot water method, its way to much of a risk especially if your workin' with an expensive piece.

Why waste the time on cleaning when you can just buy a new one, unless you're attached to your old one. Did you know that you can make your own, check it out.:rasta:
