Why Cleaning Your Bubbler Matters

A bubbler is a hybrid smoking device that combines the portability of a pipe with the filtration benefits of a bong. Over time, residue and debris accumulate in the bubbler’s chambers, affecting the flavor and smoothness of your smoke. Regular cleaning ensures a better smoking experience and prevents the buildup of harmful bacteria and mold. Plus, keeping your bubbler clean shows off its stylish design and premium materials—something we’re all about here at Weeday.

What You’ll Need to Clean Your Bubbler

• Bong cleaning solution (or, if you don’t have one, isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt work just as well)
• Small pouch
• Cotton swabs or pipe cleaners
• Warm water
• Paper towels or a clean cloth

These items are affordable and readily available, making the process simple and hassle-free.

Step 1: Empty and Rinse Your Bubbler

Start by emptying your bubbler of any remaining water. Rinse it thoroughly with warm water to loosen any surface residue. This initial rinse helps make the deep-cleaning process more effective. Be gentle to avoid damaging the glass.

Pro Tip: Avoid using boiling water, as sudden temperature changes can cause the glass to crack.

Step 2: Prepare the Cleaning Solution

If you’re using a bong cleaning solution, follow the instructions provided on the packaging. If you don’t have a cleaning solution, mix isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt in a ziplock bag or container. The cleaning solution (or the alcohol and salt) works to break down sticky resin, with the salt acting as a scrubbing agent. For bubblers with intricate designs, this combination works wonders to reach those hard-to-clean nooks.

Step 3: Submerge and Shake

Place your bubbler pipe in the bag or container, ensuring it’s fully submerged in the cleaning solution (or the alcohol and salt mixture). Seal the bag tightly and shake it gently for a few minutes. The abrasive salt will scrub away stubborn residue, while the cleaning solution or alcohol dissolves it. If the bubbler is particularly dirty, let it soak for 20-30 minutes before shaking again.

Step 4: Scrub the Stubborn Spots

After shaking, use cotton swabs or pipe cleaners to tackle any remaining residue in tight spots. Focus on the mouthpiece, bowl, and other areas where buildup tends to collect. Take your time to ensure every crevice is clean.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Rinse your bubbler thoroughly with warm water to remove all traces of the cleaning solution or alcohol mixture. Shake out any excess water and dry your bubbler with a clean cloth or paper towels. Let it air dry completely before using it again.

Pro Tip: For bubblers with intricate designs, use compressed air to remove water from hard-to-reach areas.

How Often Should You Clean Your Bubbler?

Regular maintenance is key. Ideally, rinse your bubbler with warm water after each use and perform a deep clean once a week if you’re a frequent smoker. This routine prevents heavy buildup and keeps your bubbler pipe looking and functioning like new.

Tips to Keep Your Bubbler Cleaner for Longer

• Use Fresh Water: Always use clean, fresh water for each session to reduce residue buildup.
• Store Properly: Keep your bubbler in a safe, dust-free place when not in use.
• Consider Accessories: A screen or ash catcher can minimize debris entering your bubbler, reducing cleaning frequency.
