Hey UncleBuddy! Welcome to the forums

Cleaning glass pipes is an easy process. I usually soak mine overnight (sometimes longer) in rubbing alcohol in a closed container (less smell) and shake it up a couple of times, then let it sit. The next day I add some sea salt and shake it well a few times and then rinse well. If there is still some residue, I use a pipe cleaner and more rubbing alcohol (though after soaking it I rarely need to) and then rinse well with water.
If you want to clean it without soaking, simply use rubbing alcohol and some salt and pipe cleaners (which you can get at most smoke shops). Fill all the nooks and crannies with the alcohol plus salt and use the pipe cleaners to help "scrub" off the residue. Keep repeating until the alcohol and/or water runs clean when rinsing.
When doing either of those methods make sure at the end you rinse the pipe really well with water a few times before drying and using.
I hope this helps
I'm sure other people may have other techniques that work just as well, but this is how I clean my pipes.
