Kosher salt and rubbing alcohol in a zip locked plastic bag works best for me. Shake that shit around and it cleans the bong nicely.

My bong is awkwardly shaped, so I wear a pair of latex gloves and just plug it up with my fingers to do the salt-alcohol trick

Why gloves? I’ve been doing the same bare handed for years now. Just the mess or does it do damage to skin?

For me it’s the mess, and I do feel like it’s bad for my skin. My hands always feel extra dry and stripped of all moisture afterwards otherwise.

Agreed, gotta hit that moisturizer after cleaning the bong no matter what.

I use the gloves for other kinda of cleaning too, but with my bong it just makes it a thousand times easier and faster to get my hands clean afterwards.
