Cleaning Care & FAQ
Cleaning & Care
Regularly cleaning your piece is crucial for a satisfying smoke session. Proper maintenance extends its lifespan, prevents resin or mold buildup, and preserves the true flavor of your herb.
It’s a simple process: Start by emptying the stale bong water. Then partially fill your piece with a mixture of 90%+ Isopropyl Alcohol and table salt (or a store-bought solution).
Next, gently shake the piece while covering the openings until it is spotless and clean of any residue. You may want to use a tool (such as a pipe cleaner) to clean your downstem. If residue persists you may consider letting your piece soak for a period of time.
Then, rinse your piece thoroughly with hot water.
Finally, refill your piece with freshwater or store it dry for your next sesh.
Aim to clean after each session, or daily for frequent users. Before storing, ensure your piece is clean and dry. Don't forget to refill with fresh water before each session.

We test every piece with a surface test swab that detects the presence of lead. If an item tests positive for lead, we will not sell it.
We also research each piece, and attempt to learn as much as we can about common manufacturers and manufacturing processes. We do not sell pieces made by manufacturers or from manufacturing processes known for utilizing lead (this is why you will never see a piece made from crystal on our site).
