It's a bitch to clean. Very porous material. Everything sticks to it.

The highest percentage rubbing alcohol you can find and salt, I'd clean it at least weekly

There is an acryllic bong cleaner out called "420" and it smells like oranges. Try some head shops on Google or ask your local dealer. Do not use alcohol on your acrylics.

Alcohol will cause the acrylic to eventually crack. You should NEVER use rubbing alcohol on acrylics. Soap and water, or a product specifically designed for the plastics, like "420"

bingo. alcohol will destroy acryllic. first it will turn it all white, and over time it will warp and wear. this is the main reason i hate acryllics. not familiar with any namebrand products, though, just make sure it says it's safe for acryllic.

Not trying to be a dick, but I mean... cleaning your bong weekly, buying the cleaner monthly or bi-monthly... seems it'd be cheaper to just go GLASS, right? I mean, quality wise, better, less cleaning, & your not paying much more. I can get a little 3-footer here in town for $30.00. I'm sure that 420 cleaner is at least $10.00, no? I don't know, i don't use bongs, prefer blunts, but I'd imagine it's $10 or more, by the time you buy that, then buy another bottle, on top what you spent for the bong, just seems like glass would of been an overall better investment.

But, what the fuck do I know? Lol.

Besides, it says it takes stains out of anything! So, if it doesn't completely clean your bong, your looking at a full 100% money back guarantee. Good thinking Smokey.

lol didn't think about the money back guarantee. I just know my friends swears by oxy clean. I didn't beleive him until he showed me one day. He took his glass pipe and soaked it then just kinda stirred it around for about 15 minutes and to my amazement the thing looked brand new.
