How to Clean an Acrylic Bong

Here’s how to clean an acrylic or plastic bong with Green Piece, an alcohol-free (no isopropyl) cleaner with a fresh orange scent. It’s reusable, so you pour it back in the bottle when you’re done.

Made with fruit extracts and minerals only. Non-toxic, environmentally friendly and alcohol-free (no isopropyl).

What you need

  • Green Piece cleaner
  • Warm water
  • Nylon brushes (tube and mini brushes)
  • Silicone plugs, or a sealable bag or jar for small parts
  • A funnel to pour the cleaner back

Steps

  1. Empty the water and remove the downstem and bowl.
  2. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.
  3. Plug the openings.
  4. Pour in enough Green Piece to cover the stained areas.
  5. Soak, swirling gently now and then.
  6. Clean with a soft nylon brush or cloth only.
  7. Pour the used Green Piece back into the bottle through a funnel. The liquid is reusable, so keep it for the next clean.
  8. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until no cleaner or loosened residue remains, then let the piece air dry.

Soak time

A few minutes for light stains; up to about 8 hours for heavy buildup.

Rinse

Rinse with warm water until no cleaner or loosened residue remains. A drop of dish soap is optional. Let the piece air dry fully before using it.

Tips

  • Use soft brushes only; acrylic scratches more easily than glass.
  • Skip very hot water, which can warp some plastics.
