The boiling didn't make my house smell too bad. 'course my stove is next to a window and a door--both of which were open. Does rubbing alcohol and salt kill any bacteria and germs that might be residing on the mouthpiece and/or in the pipe itself? That's why I wanted to boil it cause I heard that boiling can kill bacteria and germs.

Umm, could you tell my how to use rubbing alcohol and salt? It can't be too hard, lol.

Also, DID boiling it for 20 minutes kill the stuff that could've been residing within it? I'm paranoid about catching something,

Thanks for any and all future help.
