91% isopropyl alcohol and some coarse salt like kosher or sea salt...NOT ordinary table salt. Shake it around; the salt helps abrade while the iso dissolves the tar.

This is the best video I could find. The video was not made by me. This is HashBean's video from TokeCity.

My Guide:

Common Items Used For Cleaning Bongs:

1. Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol 71% or higher
2. Epsom Salt (More Coarse) or Kosher Salt (Finer)
3. Pipe Cleaners
4. Zip-Lock Baggy (Sandwich or Freezer Bag size)
_______________
Bongs (works for Bubblers as well)

Step 1
Empty the water from the bottom of the bong into the toilet bowl instead of the sink. The bong water is full of resin and has a bad smell.

Step 2
Refill the bong with hot water. Put your hand over the opening at the top of the bong to seal it. Hold the bong horizontally and shake it back and forth vigorously. Empty the water into the toilet again and flush.

Step 3
Pour a few inches of 91% rubbing alcohol into the bottom of the bong.

Step 4
Add several tablespoons of salt, sea salt or uncooked rice. The salt or the rice acts as an abrasive and scrapes the sides of the bong as the alcohol breaks down the resin.

Step 5
Place your hand over the top of the bong again. Holding the bong horizontally, give it another vigorous shaking. Turn the bong over and around while you shake. Make sure you reach all surfaces. Empty the contents in the toilet and flush.

Step 6
Put a few inches of clean, warm water in the bong and shake it again. Now you can dump the water out in the sink because the residue should be all gone.

Step 7
Spray the bong inside and out with an all-purpose cleaner. Use one that is scented with lemon or lime to remove the bad smell and taste from the bong. Rinse with clear water, and then set the bong upside down to allow all water to drain.

Spoons (also works for Slides and Downstems)

Step 1
Put your spoon into your Zip-Lock baggy and add approximately 1/4 of a cup of Rubbing Alcohol and 1 Tablespoon of Epsom or Kosher salt.

Step 2
Try and get all of the air out of the Zip-Lock bag and seal it up

Step 3
Shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes or until resin begins to be visible in the Rubbing Alcohol (the brownish hue).

Step 4
Remove the spoon from the baggy and rinse with warm water. If there is any leftover resin in the spoon use the Pipe Cleaner now and clean it out (just rub the Pipe Cleaner through the spoon and rub inside of the bowl).

Step 5
Rinse one more time in warm water and your done.
