    Cleaning your pipe/bowl/bong/bubbler in the post covid era

    Now that rubbing alcohol is no longer a thing, what are you fine folks using?

    Methyl hydrate works as well as isopropyl. And it's cheap. A little hot/boiling water to soften the gunk doesn't hurt either.

    Odd way to describe methanol.

    Interesting that isopropyl is out of stock, and yet methanol should be just as good for killing rona.

    Next time you want booze, ask for the ethyl hydrate.

    <shrug> Yes, methyl hydrate = methanol. But next time you go to the hardware store, let me know when you find the container labeled methanol. I guess they don't want the idiots out there to mix it up with ethanol, and use it to fortify their cheap vino.

    Hot water and sea salt crystals, yes, some will dissolve, but the sea salt will do a nice job of scrubbing.

    Hot water and soap with brush always does the trick.

    It's a massively overpriced bottle of isopropyl alcohol and salt, with a little food coloring added to make you think it's something special. For a fraction of the price/oz you can buy a gallon of pure denatured alcohol (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-St...SL26/100139444) and a couple pounds of table salt (https://www.webstaurantstore.com/mor.../102SALT4.html) that will work exactly the same. Those guys must make a killing repackaging alcohol and salt (that they bought even cheaper at bulk pricing) and selling it to dumbasses at 10x markup.

    Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing that out. I laughed at the fools I college who bought that shit, I didn't think anyone over the age of 20 actually fell for their marketing.

    Why clean, just fill it with Lysol.

    Yeah, a gallon of iso and a couple pounds of salt, sounds like a pain in the ass. I’m good thanks though, dickweeds.

    Where are your stoner priorities? You don't keep iso in the garage for the bong only?? The wife can get her own.

    I’ve used that. Good degreaser. But damn. Seems like overkill for you stoners.

    After the talcum powder lawsuits I’m expecting purple power class actions.

    I wonder how a citrus based product would work on a pipe like base cleaner ?


    edit; I betcha Diversol/ sparklebrit/ briteb its the pink stuff used for cleaning wine making equipment would soak out bong stains. I use it for wine making but its really good for cleaning a thermos/ water bottle/ flask or anything you shouldn't have left food in and its pretty cheap
