Cleaning the bong using household items
Water
The simplest of substances, can be surprisingly effective when it comes to cleaning bongs; all you need to do is simply boil a bit of water, just enough to be able to submerge the bong under it, wait for it to cool down just a bit as the glass of the bong might break under the heat of the water, and proceed to immerse the bong in said water. Wait around 30 mins and remove and continue cleaning normally with napkins and pipe cleaners.

Lemon
Another simple solution would be to boil a bit lemon juice with some water and then fill the bong with it, shake thoroughly and leave it sediment for around 5 mins for the lemon to work in breaking down the filth on the inside of the bong. Rinse when done. Same method could be applied for salt as well, but we recommend you try water and lemon first as cleaning with salt could prove a bit more difficult.

Vinegar and baking soda
Fill the bong with warm water and add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda, allow it to sit for a few hours (the more the better). then, add some more baking soda and a small cup of vinegar; shake vigorously and empty the content. remember to clean the bong using this combo in an open space where it wouldn’t be a problem if it were to get messy as the combination of vinegar and baking soda s quite fizzy and could result in a mess. Using a toothbrush or something similar works perfectly in accordance with this solution. Rinse with warm water when done.
Reminder, the water must not be too hot as the glass of the bong is somewhat fragile and might break under very hot water.

Cleaning the bong using rubbing alcohol
Contrary to popular belief, cleaning your bong using rubbing alcohol is actually a safe alternative to using household items and can prove to be very effective in cleaning the bong.
All you need are the rubbing alcohol and some coarse table salt.
First, rinse off all parts of the bong with hot water, make sure that there are no big chunks of “dirt” left on the inside, then add the salt first followed by the alcohol (salt comes first so as it does not directly get dissolved by the alcohol and render useless). Proceed to shake the bong vigorously for a couple of minutes with the alcohol and salt on the inside. Once done, remove the said solution from the bong and completely submerge the bong under hot water for around 10 mins. If the bong has been long waiting for this cleaning, don’t hesitate to repeat the process. Always make sure to scrub the bong with pipe cleaners and some sort of cloth/napkin as well.
Cleaning the bong should happen every 2 to 3 days as it is vital for both the quality of the weed and your health. Not only cleaning is necessary but preventing the bong from getting extremely dirty and clogged is essential too!
