    Simple Green is the best cleaner by far.. you can pick it up in almost any store... try it.. you won't use anything else

    Once you have it clean, start using a product called Rez block

    Thank me later.

    I empty the dirty water out, then pour a generous amount of isopropyl rubbing alcohol in and shake it around. I'm going blank on the name, but I have one of those kitchen scrubbers that bends to whatever you're scrubbing. Salt also works too, it gives a grip on the resin if you don't really have a scrubber. I basically just put the scrubby thing up and down throughout the bong, it works quite well. Where the stem goes, I'd put the isopropyl on a qtip and clean it.
    However you wanna do it, isopropyl is probably the best. It takes the resin off and takes the stickiness away.

    Edit: I've never heard of a green way of cleaning bongs, but if I had the products that people have been mentioning on here available at hand, i'd totally try it.

    you can pick it up at hardware stores.. its not commercial.. its just a strong natural cleaner...


    More often than not when i clean my pipes i run them under very hot water to loosen the resin.. then iso/salt.. works great and is super cheap

    So I have a small, plastic bong that is pretty hard to get inside to clean. It's also getting pretty filthy in there. What are some good ways to clean all the residue? Will the same ways to clean a glass bong work the same for a plastic one???

    I prefer Isopropyl alcohol and coarse sea salt to clean my glass bong. cover the holes and shake like hell. Rinse it out and it's nice a heavenly clean.

    Microwave until runny, scoop out crap, repeat.

    I use a silicon pipe myself. Resin doesn't stick to it.

    Use a small plain glass pipe with ordinary stem and bowl. Clean with toothbrush and 90% alcohol. Takes less than a minute. Wipe bowl with tissue and alcohol.

    Yeah, ISO Alcohol is a good solvent for residues and resins.

    No to the dishwasher, unless you want bong gum all over the machine!!!

    Dishwashing tablets, powder nor liquid will NOT clean your bong. It needs to be cleaned with a solvent, and alcohol combined with salt (which doesn't dissolve in alcohol) being used as an abrasive, cleaning becomes easy-peasy.
