The Red King Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I have a pretty nice bong that I have left in the garden for about 2 years,but now im trying to clean it for use and im struggling. its a glass beaker type bong and the inside is coated with a greenish sticky film that i would guess is algae or something. Ive used bleach, fairy liquid and boiling water to clear almost all ofit but theres onesticky patch I just cant shift. Nothing can be used to scrub it because theres an ice catcher in the neck that stops me shoving a bog brush or something in. any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Tom Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 @The Red King Acetone & rock salt & hot water. Cover all the holes & shake it up. Will strip all the shit off. It will look like a new bong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 @Welsh Tom never thought of rock salt but that sounds good, need something abrasive to clean glass and that should work you have any idea where is best to get acetone mate?

vortex Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 how about hot soapy water and use a babys bottle brush to get right inside it ? then give it a bloody good rinse out .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Tom Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 @The Red King Not sure if they are still in business, havent been back in the UK that long but i remember maplins used to sell some. You can use like cleaning alcohol too. Has a similar effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 @vortex baby bottle brush was my first thought but theres a knot in the metal at the end to hold it all together and that knot stops me from being able to get in the base, did a great job on the neck though @Welsh Tom maplins are dead unfortunately, they were expensive in general but they had the odd decent offer and they sold stuff that nowhere else sells got some 100% Isopropyl Alcohol from an oil exoeriment so ill give that a try now... will grab some rocksalt tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Tom Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 @The Red King Yeah that should work mate. Nothing better than a bowl filler from a nice clean bong. Enjoy man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distracted Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 isopropyl alcohol should do the job 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearukc Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I used to use a Steredent denture cleaning tablet. Block up the holes, fill with water and drop a couple in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i11 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Caustic soda - cheap as chips and there's not much it wont clean, it's what I use to clean my glass pipes all the time. Just take the necessary precautions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Ruderalis Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Bury it in the garden for another year. Carefuly dig it up and it will be clean after a rinse. Oldest trick in the book 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take the necessary precautions used this stuff for a 'chemistry project' a while back and ended up getting it all over my kitchen floor, literally melted holes in my feet i also squirted superglue in my eye once, some people cant be trusted with dangerous stuff and unfortunately im one of em ISO got the job done in the end, blowing down the downstem into the liquid helped knock the scum from the glass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i11 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When my younger brother was a kid he opened up a tub of caustic soda that my dad stupidly left on the seat in the car. He thought it was sugar and licked it. He never did it again I can't imagine which was harder for my parents - dealing with a child having a very burnt tongue, or trying to get him to drink vinegar to neutralize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Berry Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Depending on the size of the bong ISO and a pipe cleaner/cotton bud usually help get the extra grime out ISO doesn't always clean the hardened crap off with slight elbow grease the pipe cleaner should really help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
