Cleaning with Grunge Off (help)

Try running the piece under some hot water first and working it a bit with a pipe cleaner. It might also work better after a few tries. Remember that the G O is reusable. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

 

Heat a mixture of salt and hydrogen peroxide in the microwave. Let it sit in the piece. Shake it up inside a bag while it's soaking. Rinse with lots of water. It works like a charm👌

 

91% iso and that salt they use for like soaking your feet in at the dollar store i forget wat its calledSent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk

 

Do you have a stopper for the glass piece?  Make sure the grunge off covers everything you want it to clean, I use a 14 or 18mm glass stopper and a keck clip to keep the stopper in place when soaking in grunge off.
 
If grunge off isn't working on it, I doubt iso would work.

The glass stopper just plugs up the 18 or 14mm ground joint, it fits in perfectly making an air tight seal.  As you fill the tube, the pressure increases due to the weight of the column of water, that's why I use a keck clip to keep the stopper in place.  Few months ago I had a piece on the counter and the stopper came loose...what a PITA to clean up...now I use the keck.  This is a link to one on grasscity....other places sell them too, check your lhs for the best prices.

The saran wrap probably won't work to keep all the grunge off inside for a long soak.  This stuff is slippery and it can eat away at plastics.  If you clean every day, you should be able to just dump it in, let it sit for a few minutes and then dump out rinse.  If it's really dirty, the grunge off should sit in the tube overnight or longer.  When I clean oil rigs (which I do not clean real regularly) I have to let the grunge off sit for almost 24 hours before the reclaim comes out.
 
You can try iso, but I used iso and salt for over a decade and in my experience grunge off is far superior at cleaning.  With iso I'm always using pipe cleaners, boiling water to loosen stuff up, shaking like crazy, using paper towels wrapped around little magnets to "wipe" the inside of the bong.....grunge off is easier.  Plus it smells a lot better after grunge off than with iso.
