Would cleaning my glass bong with nail polish remover work?

  1. I haven't been able to find Acetone anywhere near me, I'm from a pretty remote area and none of the shops have any, but I can get nail polish remover and I was reading this thread cleaning bong with nail polish remover which made me think it'd be fine to do so, I just have one question I didn't see in that discussion, would it still work cleaning a bong with percolators?

    I always wonder how I'm ever gonna get those clean, especially one of them that's completely closed off in its own chamber of the bong, I could never get to it with a brush for instance. But my worry here is to get any liquid to move through the bong I need to blow into it, wouldn't that be a little bit of a no-no with a chemical inside like nail polish? Or is it fine so long as I don't breathe it IN? And will it all clear out from those chambers just as easily afterwards or will I need to give it a more through rinse? I probably would to be sure anyways haha.

    First time poster here, so any response would be appreciated :)

  3. I've done it before & it works lol i also used lemon juice, vinegar & salt

    Just make sure you wash it out after with soap & water until it doesn't smell of chemicals anymore

  4. I don't have easy access to Iso alcohol. No offence, but I didn't really ask for alternate suggestions, just clarification. Thanks for the reply anyways
     
  5. Thanks, this helps. I just used salt and the nail polish remover and it worked a treat, still some staining, but I hadn't much nail polish remover to work with at the time, lifting more later.

  15. Lmao that could be why.. alot of homeless people will eat hand sanitizer if it has alcohol in it as it's cheaper then real alcohol :laughing:

  16. Isopropyl and any salt (table salt) works a treat! I have glass Bongs with chambers that I can't reach, always cleans up perfect

  17. OP just a warning if you do use nail polish remover it may strip the Colour off your bong.. I had a pink one the glass itself was clear but the outside was painted pink, after a couple times cleaning it the paint started to come off..

    It still worked fine it had just changed Colour lol

  18. Nah, I'm not too worried about that. Mine is clear mostly, just the percs that are tinted blue and if they lost the tint honestly its worth it for the clean. Ridiculous how filthy mine was before.

    And to others in the thread, no, I'm not stealing it xD I'm Irish, it's just how I say I'm gonna buy some later in the shop. Which I have since done, thanks for the interest tho I guess :/ lol

  19. I have a bong with a percolator and I was thinking about using the nail polish remover to clean it. Will it do anything to harm the bong?

  20. I don't think it'll harm ur bong.. I've used nail polish remover loads of times just make sure you wash it thoroughly with washing up liquid/dish soap & water :smoke: I usually give my bong 30-90 minutes sitting in soapy water after cleaning it just to make sure & I've never had any problems:confused_2::smoke:
