Question on Mini-Waterpipe cleaning

Hey all! Havent posted in a bit but had a good question for you. I have had hundreds of pipes over the years but about a year ago i bought somthing new to me. Its a "Mini" Waterpipe. Its a glass piece. Here is the problem im having, Sometimes i dont use a screen when I am smoking the real expensive shit I dont use one, how do i get the small marijuana matter out of the bottom where the water goes??? There is no way to scrub in there or evaporate it. Usually i use the purple power alcohol cleaning solution stuff but it just will not eliminate all the plant matter in the bottom I just cant get it out and im a fanatic about having that thing tasting clean so I can try out differant strains. Please help! Anyone with some pointers of a good solution to use to break up that plant matter since i cant get to it with a pipe cleaner, thank you!!!

I put rubbing alcohol, salt, and uncooked rice in my water pipe and shake it vigorously. Seems to remove most of that caked-on gunk.

Here's some more info.
Edit: For the stale pot smell, try a final soak in Listerine after you clean out the tar, and then rinse with hot water.
