How often do you clean your pieces?

Hey everyone, just wondering how often everyone cleans their bong/pipe/smoking piece.
It guess it would depend on how often you smoke, but I smoke almost everyday and clean about once or twice in two weeks?

About once a month. I smoke extracts using a vape-like technique. cn

I smoke daily. Change the water daily. Clean w/ salt and alcohol @ least once a month.

every couple days

Haha, I knew i cleaned alot, but daaaaaaam!!
I smoke about 3-5 grams a day and clean my daily piece with 99% and salt 2 times a day, once in the morning before my first smoke and then around 12 hours later.

My room mate and girlfriend also smoke through the same piece, so it does get dirty quite fast, i do use an ash catcher though, so it save alot of time cleaning the beaker.

I clean my room and bathroom 3-4 times a week though, little bit of self diagnosed ocd i guess..

Not often enough.

I clean my bong about every day or every other day as it gets the heaviest use and is the hardest to clean. My normal glass pieces might go a few months depending on usage of each.

It really depends. Sometimes every 2 days and then sometimes every week. Just depends on what I've got going on and how dirty they are.

What do you people use to clean your pieces? I use dry rice and methylated spirits then shake it. Cleans the grit pretty well and I have both of the things in my house most the time.

I custom made some tools to scrape out any heavy build-up, then I use coarse salt and alcohol to make it all pretty.

Edit : I must be slipping, I misspelled coarse.

I dont clean my pipes as often as I should , but I did teach the wife how to do so with Iso and Salt .. Now I just need to get her on a schedule for cleaning .. My meds tend to make her lazy unless she is on Sativa lol

Simple Green and sea salt in a ziplock baggie for me, then a good rinse with water. Never had any residue, and I don't really have pieces to rotate so I don't have to worry about making sure they're nice and aired out before I spark up. I don't have a set schedule or anything, I clean it when it starts looking dirty; which has a strong correlation to how lazy I am at the time and whether it's making me notice a taste difference that bothers me.

Thanks to CN I will only use oven cleaner now and even then I am too lazy to clean more then once every 1-2 mo's but I use different pipes till they get dirty then do a mass cleansing

I don't use my bongs everyday so I usually clean them before I use them. Which happens to be around 3 times a month.

Honestly my glass collects more dust then dirt lol

When it's hard to draw till it's warmed up, and then only when I can hear the resin gurgling when I take a deep hit.....

I am sure this was my DS policy too.. they gave me about 5 pipes all were in dire need of a soak.. one black pipe turned out to be clear.. it's my fav too and it needs cleaning now.. but I can still draw air so she's just building up flavor.

Seasoning the pipe, like you season a good cast iron skillet? LOL, sounds good to me.

once every six months to never. i boil my bowl in a pan with water , take the pipe out and add 4 scoops of lemon tea from liptons and enjoy after i strain all the resin out.

hoping you only use that pipe 1-2 x's in 6 mo's or damn that would taste like concentrated bong water..
