What Makes Repel-Aide So Effective?
Why Use A Cleaner With Particles And A Solution?
The power of Repel-Aide lies in its two-part attack on resin. The liquid solution immediately gets to work, breaking down the sticky, oily bonds of buildup inside your bong or rig. This solvent action softens even the toughest, oldest residue, making it easier to wash away.
While the solution dissolves the gunk, the abrasive particles provide mechanical scrubbing power. As you shake the piece, these grits act like thousands of tiny scrapers, dislodging resin from the glass walls, percolators, and downstems. This combination ensures no spot is missed and greatly reduces the time needed to get your glass back to pristine condition.
How To Clean Your Bong In Under 5 Minutes
What Is The Shake-And-Rinse Method?
Cleaning your piece with Repel-Aide is a simple shake-and-rinse process. For the best results, follow these easy steps. This method works great for most bongs, dab rigs, and accessories made from glass or quartz.
✅ Quick Clean Checklist
- Empty & Rinse: Empty old water from your piece and give it a quick rinse with warm water to remove loose debris.
- Add Cleaner: Pour enough Repel-Aide cleaner into your bong to cover the dirty areas. A little goes a long way.
- Seal Openings: Use bong caps and plugs to securely seal the mouthpiece and joint. If you don't have caps, use your hands carefully.
- Shake Well: Firmly grip your piece and shake for 30-60 seconds. You will see the resin start to break down and mix with the solution.
- Soak (Optional): For extremely heavy buildup, let the solution sit for 5-10 minutes after shaking, then shake again briefly.
- Rinse & Dry: Pour out the used cleaner and rinse your piece thoroughly with warm water until all solution and residue are gone. Let it air dry.

Care And Safe Disposal
How Should I Dispose Of Used Cleaner?
Proper care ensures safety and keeps your glass in great shape. When using Repel-Aide, shake it firmly but be mindful of thin glass or delicate percolators. A gentle, consistent swirling motion is often more effective than violent shaking.
After cleaning, the solution will contain resin and residue. It is best to dispose of the used cleaner in the trash. Pouring it down the drain is not advised, as the resin can cause clogs over time. While some sources describe the formula as "Earth Friendly," you should always follow local regulations for waste disposal. Do not reuse the solution, as its cleaning power is greatly reduced once it's filled with debris.
Quick Answers About Repel-Aide Cleaner
How Much Cleaner Should I Use For My Bong?
Use just enough to cover the dirtiest parts of your piece. For a standard 12-inch beaker bong, 2-4 ounces is typically enough. The goal is to have enough liquid and particles to create a swirling vortex when shaken.
Is Repel-Aide Safe For Quartz Bangers And Percolators?
Yes, it is formulated to be safe and effective on both glass and quartz. For intricate percolators, use a gentle shaking or swirling motion. This allows the particles to work without risking damage to delicate glasswork.
Is This Better Than Isopropyl Alcohol And Salt?
It depends on your priority. Repel-Aide is faster, less messy, and has a lower odor. While an ISO and salt mix is cheaper per use, this cleaner offers superior convenience and speed for those who clean their pieces regularly.
Does This Cleaner Remove Lingering Smells?
Yes, Repel-Aide is designed to clean and deodorize your smoking accessories. A thorough rinse with warm water after cleaning will wash away both the resin and any stale odors, leaving your piece fresh.
Can I Reuse The Cleaning Solution?
We do not recommend it. The solution becomes saturated with resin and loses its effectiveness after one use. For the best results and a truly clean piece every time, always use fresh solution.
