Glass can break under extreme heat and the transition from super hot water to anything much cooler will also cause shattering.

Without proper maintenance any bubbler, regardless of the material its made of, is going to begin to clog, taste terrible, and generally cease to function.

That being said, there really is no good replacement to simply making sure to keep the bubbler clean by a good soak and scrub combo.

Make sure that the bubbler is getting a good soak before beginning to scrub and there will be more gunk and resin coming off with less effort.

These range from simple soap and water, boiling, vinegar, and commercially available cleaners, such as 420 Cleaner.

Depending on what someones preferences are, these will all be better than others.

There are also some things like rags, gloves, etc that can prove rather useful when cleaning.

Particularly to avoid smelly hands and messes around the sink or house.

Needless to say, it is probably a good idea to make sure that all the cleaner materials are around as well as things such as rags, gloves, bowls, etc.

In order to get the best clean it is advised that the cleaner is put inside all of the various holes in order to ensure that all areas of the bubbler are properly reached.

Proceed to shake it about and allow the cleaning agent to flow into and out of the bubbler.

This will also make sure the entire surface is coated and touched by the cleaning agent.

These are often found near the bowl piece and along the inside of the pipe leading to the mouthpiece.

While the water chamber certainly needs cleaning and disinfecting, the bulk of the resin will be located along the areas most contact by the herb and smoke.

This can take more or less times depending on how often maintenance is performed.

Otherwise, this can affect the taste or even be unhealthy depending on the substance used.

All of these options will have pros and cons associated with them and cost differently.

However, the choice will ultimately come down to preference.

Folks often enjoy using vinegar and salt because as an edible household combo it feels much safer and cleaner than using commercial cleaners or products like rubbing alcohol.

Because vinegar is not a hazard to ingest and can be purchased cheaply in bulk it is a popular way to clean a bubbler and other smoking pipes too.

This superheats the resin into a liquid state much like when it originally is formed after burning the herb.

However, despite being a cheap and efficient method, take great caution.
