How to Clean a Bubbler

Here’s how to clean a glass bubbler 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 orange peel extract in a citrus and mineral-based formula. 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 chamber and remove any removable bowl.
  2. Rinse with warm water to flush loose debris.
  3. Plug the bowl opening and mouthpiece.
  4. Fill the chamber partway with Green Piece so it reaches the stained areas.
  5. Soak, tilting and shaking now and then so the liquid reaches the bowl and stem.
  6. Brush the bowl and mouthpiece with a mini nylon brush.
  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

Usually a few minutes; up to about 8 hours if the chamber is heavily stained.

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

  • Bubblers have tight channels, so let the soak do the work rather than forcing a brush through.
  • Tilt the bubbler in different directions during the soak to reach every surface.
