| Silicone | Warm water and dish soap; it’s dishwasher-safe | Sharp tools |
| Metal | Isopropyl soak | Leaving it wet |
| Acrylic | Warm soapy water only | Alcohol: it cracks acrylic |

Questions, answered
What’s the fastest way to clean a bong?
A glass cleaner or isopropyl with coarse salt, a hard shake with the openings plugged, then a warm rinse.
How often should I change the water?
Every day you use it. Fresh water tastes better and keeps buildup down.
Can I clean acrylic with alcohol?
No. Alcohol cracks acrylic. Use warm soapy water.
Are reusable cleaners worth it?
Yes, if you clean often. You can strain and reuse the solution several times.
How do I clean a quartz banger?
Swab it with isopropyl while it’s still warm, not hot. For buildup, soak it in isopropyl.
