What's best for, say, my scientific glass bong?

Seriously, what's safe and effective?



Use 99% isopropyl alcohol. Add in a teaspoon of table salt -- it won't dissolve in the alcohol and will act as a mild abrasive to help remove stubborn residue. Rinse thoroughly with water afterwards.

If you're really serious about your cleanliness, a desktop ultrasonic cleaner is also amazing for cleaning bowls and downstems. You can get them for a few dozen dollars from Amazon and the like.


Soak in 95% ethanol overnight and then everything comes off with an easy wipe if you can get to it. Definitely safe, but I’m curious if these other solutions dissolve completely without a wipe?


I can only get isopropyl alcohol to clean cannabis glass by quick and easy dissolution if I warm the glass and the alcohol beforehand. Warm 99% alcohol absolutely destroys cannabis waxes.


'Orange cleaner' is very effective in this case.

I make it by macerating orange peels in 95% ethanol.


Acetone, after removing all rubber seals, then rinse with alcohol and boiling water.


Isopropyl works well
