When cleaning a pipe with vinegar, it is important to use the right concentration. For light cleaning, a solution of 50/50 water and vinegar will do the trick. For tougher jobs, you can use a stronger concentration of vinegar.

Be sure to test the solution on a small area of the pipe before using it on the entire surface. If the solution begins to remove residue off right away, this is likely a strong enough solution. If it doesn’t, add more vinegar.

Vinegar and Hot Water Pipe Cleaning

Materials

• Vinegar
• Toothbrush or other Cleaning Brush
• Water
• Bowl or tupperware

Directions

1. To clean your pipe with vinegar, start by flushing it with hot water.
2. Next, add your chosen vinegar solution to a clean spray bottle and mist it generously over the surface of the pipe. Mist it VERY generously, almost to the point of pouring it. If you’re cleaning a bong, then pour the mixture inside the bong.
3. Let the solution sit for several minutes before scrubbing away any dirt or grime with a soft-bristled brush. Make sure to scrub well, the solution will loosen the residue up but it won’t remove it on its own. We like to use an old toothbrush as it’s long enough to reach almost any crevice in a pipe and thin enough to fit into a lot of pipes.
4. Finally, rinse the pipe well with clean hot water and allow it to air dry.
