cleaning a glass pipe?

I have a glass pipe and I have never ever cleaned it before, let alone any pipe. Whats the best way?

Well, what i do when i clean my pipe is i first get a paperclip and some other random scraping toools and scrape all the resin out of my pipe via the carb hole mostly, then i save the resin or smoke it. Then i put the pipe in a salt and alcohol mixture which desolves all of the remaining resin off of the pipe. This will make your pipe loook BRAND NEW...Some people also like to biol the water instead of using salt and alcohol, but i think that it smells to much and is not as simple as Salt and alcohol

how much do you mix? and you dont add any water? its straight alcohol?

Straight rubbing alcohol and table salt...No pertcular mixture i just estimate how much salt to put in.

Thanks for the info NotALlama!

whats the salt do.

it acts like sand paper inside your pipe. i get a "sandwich" baggie and cover my piece in salt, then cover it with rubbing alcohal, shake and bake dude, shake and bake

Yup 91% rubbing alcohal and Kosher salt is the best thing I have ever used to scrub my pipes. I don't use anyting metel on them the glass breaks easy but the brushes from the fish store work just fine. Pipe cleaners work well too, yes they have a small amount of metal in them but as a rule I try not to scratch the glass with them.

Good advice in this thread I hope everyone learns someting. :)
