If you dab or rip glass regularly, cleaning is not some extra hobby. It is maintenance. This collection is built around the two moments that actually keep your setup running nice: the quick wipe right after a hit, and the deeper clean that brings flavor back and keeps the pull smooth.
In here you will see swabs that actually fit tight corners, plugs that let you shake-clean without wearing your rig, soak tools for bangers and small parts, and ISO station pieces that keep your setup from turning into a sticky mess.
Cleaning supplies for dab rigs and bongs are the little tools that make residue removal easier and safer. Think swabs made for quartz corners, plugs that seal openings so you can shake without splashing, and soak tools that let you dunk a banger or small accessories without fishing them out of a jar.
If you are over muted flavor, stubborn buildup, or that one tiny spot that never wants to wipe clean, this is the stuff that fixes it.

A solid swab needs to do two things at once: soak up gunk and reach the spots your fingers cannot. You feel it immediately when you are trying to clean the inner wall of a banger or the edge where residue loves to hang out.
If you want an easy daily routine, grab Honey Swabs. They are described as biodegradable bamboo sticks with dense cotton tips, with a pointed end and a rounded end for detail work and wipe-downs.
If you burn through swabs fast, a refill-friendly option like a Swabs case is a quality-of-life move so you are not re-ordering mid-week.
Quick real-world tip: swab while the banger is warm, not hot. Warm wipes clean. Hot wrecks swabs and wrecks fingers.
An ISO station is basically a dedicated cleaning station that keeps what you need in one place. Typically that means an ISO dispenser plus swab storage, and some styles add holders for tools and accessories.
If your station is always messy, step up to a dedicated organizer like Dab stations. It is one of those upgrades you notice every day because cleanup becomes automatic.
Lost the little plug that makes your ISO station usable. Yep, it happens. A spare like a Glass plug keeps your routine alive. The product listing notes it is a 14mm male plug and calls out compatibility with multiple station models including Simple, Deluxe, Lux, and Pro.
If you want a quick explainer before buying, the ISO guide is worth a skim because it breaks down what the station is meant to do.
If you have ever tried shake cleaning without sealing your mouthpiece and joint, you already know how that story ends.
A solid plug set is the mess-prevention move. Silicone plugs are built for that exact job, seal it up, shake it, rinse it, done.
One important reality check: silicone plugs can resist a little heat, but intense heat can damage them, so always let hot glass cool before plugging.
If you are unsure what plugs are for and what they are not for, the Plug guide clears up common confusion, including that plugs are for rigs and bongs, not for banger cleaning.
Soaking is for the times when wiping is not enough. If a banger is cooked, or you are cleaning small accessories and you want it hands-off, a basket makes it way simpler.
A dunk-style tool like a Soak basket is designed for soaking a banger or small items, then lifting them out cleanly.
Pairing tip: soak first, then use a swab after the soak to finish the corners. That is the difference between mostly clean and actually clean.
If your banger needs a real reset, check the Banger guide for a step-by-step approach.
| Your Situation | Best Routine | Tools That Fit |
|---|---|---|
| I just want clean flavor every session | After-dab wipe | Swabs, ISO station setup |
| I deep clean once a week | Soak and rinse | Soak basket, swabs, plugs for rig shaking |
| My rig is leaking during cleaning | Seal and shake | Cleaning plugs |
| I want a tidy dab area | Station setup | ISO station, tool holders |
| What You Are Cleaning | What Usually Works Best |
|---|---|
| Quartz banger | Swabs for daily, soak basket for deep clean |
| Dab rig | Plugs for shake cleaning, swabs for small contact points |
| Bong | Plugs for shaking, swabs for detail spots |
| Tools and accessories | Swabs for residue, soak when buildup is stubborn |
If you are matching cleaning tools to new gear, it helps to browse the core categories first: Quartz bangers, Dab rigs, and Bongs.
Swab Method: best for quick daily cleanup and tight corners
Shake Method: best for rigs and bongs when you want full internal contact without a mess
Soak Method: best for bangers and small parts when residue is baked on
Common mistake: trying to “force” a method. If a banger is cooked, swabbing alone becomes frustrating. That is when you soak, then swab.
Replacement Plug Compatibility
The ISO station replacement plug is listed as 14mm male and the page calls out compatibility with Simple, Deluxe, Lux, and Pro ISO Stations.
| Item | What To Verify |
|---|---|
| ISO station replacement plug | Station model and the 14mm male spec |
| Cleaning plugs | Mouthpiece opening and joint opening, aim for a snug seal without stretching hard |
Sizing tip: if a plug takes real force to seat, it is probably the wrong size for that opening. A snug seal is what you want, not a stressed one.
If your gear lives on a tray right now and cleaning feels like a chore, a station changes the habit. Add a station, add swabs, add a safe spot for tools, and cleanup becomes a two-minute reset instead of a whole project.
For accessories that pair with station setups, browse Dab tools, Carb caps, and Quartz inserts.

| Soaking feels annoying | Hard to lift and drain safely | A basket lets you dunk, lift, and drain cleanly |
| I lost my ISO station plug | Small parts disappear | A backup replacement plug keeps the station usable |

Let the banger cool until it is warm, not hot
Use the rounded end to wipe pooled residue
Use the pointed end for corners and the inner edge
If you use ISO, go light and let it fully dry before heat
Empty water first
Add your cleaning solution
Seal mouthpiece and joint with plugs
Shake with control, do not whip it around
Rinse thoroughly and let it dry
Safety note: avoid heat exposure on silicone plugs. Let the glass cool before sealing.
Place the banger or small parts in the basket
Soak until residue softens
Lift, drain, then swab details while it is still damp
Rinse and dry completely before use
Every session: Quick banger wipe-down
Weekly: Deeper clean for rigs and bongs, plus a soak for bangers if needed
Replace swabs when tips lose shape or start smearing instead of absorbing
Replace plugs if they deform or stop sealing cleanly
Keep a spare station plug if your setup depends on it
This is not just a random pile of cleaners. It is a small system that supports a repeatable routine: wipe, seal, soak, reset. The station mindset is what keeps your glass tasting right and your setup from feeling grimy.
