Empty the water from your silicone bong.

To dry your silicone bong, you will need to empty the water. If you can't do this by yourself, ask a friend or family member for help.

To remove all of the water from your silicone bong, use a bottle brush to scrub inside of it and then pour out any remaining drops with a paper towel.

Remove and rinse the downstem, bowl, and other accessories.

First, remove all the pieces from your bong and rinse them off in hot water. Then, use a pipe brush to clean out any build-up in the downstem. If you have a metal bowl, use something like baking soda or rubbing alcohol to clean it with; otherwise, just use some warm water and soap. For other accessories like screens or mouthpieces (if applicable), a cotton swab will work just fine for cleaning.

Lastly, rinse everything off with cold water before putting it all back together again!

Clean the inside of the bong.

Once you’ve cleaned the outside of your bong, it’s time to turn your attention to the inside. You can use a pipe brush to scrub any grime from inside of your bong; if you don’t have one handy, just use whatever else you have on hand – like another paper towel or cotton swab – and don't worry about damaging anything! The important part is getting in there and making sure everything is nice and clean.

Use coarse salt to scrub and scour the inside of the bong.

Use coarse salt to scrub and scour the inside of the bong. Fill a bowl with water, then add ½ cup of coarse salt. Soak your silicone bong in this solution for at least 20 minutes to get it really clean.

Scrub with a brush to work the salt into the crevices of the silicone, then rinse well with hot water.

Clean the mouthpiece, handle, and outside of the bong

  • Use a soft cloth to wipe down the mouthpiece and handle.

  • Soak up any water with a dry towel if you used soap to clean it, then let it air dry for a day.

Conclusion

As you can see, silicone bongs are easy to clean and maintain. It’s important that we keep our bodies healthy by cleaning them regularly, so why not give your bong the same treatment? Just follow these steps and in no time you will be enjoying clean hits from your favorite silicone bong!
