Help cleaning my glass pipe

[Bong ripper420]

my glass pipe is a spoon pipe. muc like the ones in the pictures. except bigger. I like my pipe to always be clean (pretty much spotless). but on the bottom by where the bowl is but inside the pipe its dirty and i dont know how to clean it. I use rubbing alcohol and it seems to get almost everything but it does not clean the inside by the bowl.

do you have any pipe cleaners to scrub it with?

let it sit in the alc and then use a pipe cleaner to scrub it out. if you dont have a pc then perhaps you can get a qtip to the right spot?

i always use oxiclean, and it gets my glass pipes spotless ( i have four). i boil some water on the stove, get a bowl, put a couple of tablespoons of the oxiclean powder in it, pour the hot water in, and then i always wait a few mins, add a little bit more oxiclean, and put my pipes in the water. and then i usually am baked and i forget that they're in there...so i always let them soak for different times lol. but yeah, if they're not completely clean when i take them out, i run hot water through them and then they're spotless!

here are my pipes, after cleaning them with the oxiclean:

**** forgot to mention, this method does put off a little bit of a smell, but not much. a bit of febreze is enough to cover it up, in case you do live at home with your parents

wow blazed babe i live with my parents and your pipes look great and you dont look bad yourself but are you taking about the oxiclean detergent. the one that has weird commercials on tv.

what i do is just boil a pot of water, then put the pipe in once it boiling. i leave it in for 15-45 minutes. (i usually do 45, gets everything). then remove pot from flame. put pan in sink under the facet. put the hole u hit it from on the pipe under the stream of water and draining into the pot for like 5-9 seconds, (dont need a heavy stream of water, jsut small.) now, just slowly drain the pot, into a coffe filter ontop of your drain.the water will go through and you will get a thing of resin on the coffe filter. scraping after doing this isa good idea too. jus a quick scrap tho.

I can get my peices pritty clean with just some work.

I usually get a paper clip and bend it into shape. Then get the tap water as hot as it can go. Let and soak for a bit then start scraping. I also use q-tips or pipe cleaner.

I've collected resin from my pipe to smoke a couple times. But i've realized its disgusting because I take it everywhere and fibers and shit get into it and its gross.

This is how I do it, took it from another thread(I wrote it, just copy and paste it)

Here's what I do. I'll take my glass pieces, pour a bit of salt in the dirty region, and some in a sandwich bag, I prefer ones with the sealing strip. I pour salt in the bag then some rubbing alcohol. I shake it for 5-10 minutes. I will blow in it see if any loose bits of resin come flying out. I then take some Q-tips with some rubbing alcohol on them and fish it around in the holes (carb, mouth piece, and bowl). The Q-tip will be covered in shitty black resin, I just discard it. After a few q-tips I'll shake it some more. Blow out chunks that are loose. Just keep repeating the steps till clean. Uh, you don't really need to refresh the alcohol or salt during this. Even if the water gets black, it'll still work. I did it with my glass pipe it wasn't cleaned for over 1 year+. I bought it from some guy who never cleaned it since the day he got it. There was so much nasty resin in that pipe. Lol ew. Well, have fun. I don't personally opt for boiling, not up for the risk of breaking glass with the fast temperature changes and such. Fuck it. . Here's a picture of my pipe and my bong, which I cleaned the day I took the pictures.
