What You'll Need (Simple Kit)

  • Your bong / water pipe
  • TBBC Bong Cleaner
  • Warm water
  • Optional: a soft brush for tight areas (only if needed)

The Core Routine (Shake + Rinse Method)

Step 1: Empty + Warm Rinse

Step 2: Add TBBC Bong Cleaner

  • Pour enough cleaner to coat the inside surfaces
  • Cover openings so you can shake without spills

Step 3: Shake (Don't Go Hulk)

  • Shake firmly for 20–60 seconds
  • If buildup is heavy, let it sit a few minutes before a second shake

Step 4: Rinse Until Totally Clean

  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water
  • Keep rinsing until water runs clear and there's no cleaner smell

For lazy-day maintenance between deep cleans: quick clean routine for bongs and smoking accessories.

Step 5: Air-Dry Fully

  • Let it dry completely before storing
  • Don't store it wet in a closed space (that's how odor comes back)

When to Soak vs When to Shake

  • Light/regular buildup: shake + rinse is enough
  • Heavy buildup (long gaps between cleans): short soak + shake + rinse

Rinse Rules (The Part People Mess Up)

If you ever taste "cleaner" after cleaning, it's almost always because rinsing was rushed.

  • Rinse longer than you think
  • Use warm water
  • Smell-check: if you can smell cleaner, keep rinsing

Do's & Don'ts (Glass-Safe Habits)

Do:

  • Clean more often with a quick routine
  • Change water regularly
  • Use gentle motion instead of aggressive scraping

Don't:

  • Use harsh scraping tools inside glass
  • Leave dirty water sitting for days
  • Store the piece wet

Different Piece Quick Tips

  • Small minis: shorter shake cycles, rinse carefully (tight spaces)
  • Bigger pieces: rinse longer; do a second shake if needed
  • Tight corners/percs: soak briefly, then shake; avoid forceful poking

FAQs

How often should I use bong cleaner?

If you use your piece regularly, a quick routine a couple of times a week keeps taste fresh and smell low. More frequent light cleans beat rare heavy cleans.

Why does my piece still smell after cleaning?

Usually: old water sat too long, it wasn't rinsed fully, or it was stored wet. Do a longer rinse and air-dry completely.

Will this damage glass?

Used with a shake + rinse routine and no scraping, it's a glass-friendly way to keep things clean.
