Quick answer
Clean your GRAV Small Beaker glass bong with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Disassemble the piece, soak and shake the base, then rinse thoroughly to preserve the ice catch and downstem.
Why regular cleaning matters
Residue buildup can clog the multi-hole downstem and reduce filtration efficiency. The built-in ice catch also collects debris, so keeping it clean ensures cooler, smoother hits and extends the life of your glass.
Step-by-step cleaning process
- Disassemble and rinse: Remove the bowl and downstem from the beaker base. Rinse all parts with warm water to flush out loose debris. Don't skip the rinse—it prevents large particles from clogging your cleaning solution.
- Prepare the cleaning solution: Fill the beaker base with isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and add a tablespoon of coarse salt. Seal the openings with plastic wrap or a rubber stopper. Use coarse salt, not table salt—fine grains dissolve too quickly to scrub effectively.
- Shake and soak: Swirl and shake the base vigorously for 2–3 minutes, then let it soak for 15–30 minutes. Focus on the ice catch and downstem area. If residue remains after soaking, add fresh salt and shake again—don't let the alcohol evaporate.
- Rinse and dry: Empty the solution and rinse thoroughly with warm water until no alcohol smell or salt remains. Air dry completely before reassembling. Residual alcohol can affect taste, so rinse until the water runs clear and odorless.
