Cleaning a (glass) pipe.

[themrzach]

rubbing alcohol and salt ftw. its the easiest and cheapest way IMO.
everyone has rubbing alc and salt

AGREED!!!

THE EASY, SIMPLE AND COST EFFICIENT WAY TO CLEAN A GLASS PIECE:

MATERIALS:
- SALT
- RUBBING ALCOHOL (FIRST AID SECTIONS OF DRUG STORES JUST A FEW BUCKS)
- HOT WATER
- SPONGE OR WASHCLOTH
- QTIPS - OPTIONAL

STEP 1.
AT SINK OR IN BATH TUB FILL PIECE ALL THE WAY WITH HOT WATER.

STEP 2.
EMPTY PIECE OUT.

STEP 3.
POUR RUBBING ALCOHOL IN PIECE. START WITH A SMALLER AMOUNT, YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE.
POUR SALT IN PIECE. AGAIN, START WITH A SMALLER AMOUNT, YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE.
1 TABLESPOON SALT TO 1 SHOT GLASS OF ALCOHOL IS A GOOD RATIO TO START WITH. BUT EXPERIMENT AS YOU WOULD LIKE.

STEP 4.
COVER ALL HOLES ON PIECE. (CARB, DOWN STEM, MOUTHPIECE. ECT.)
SHAKE PIECE.
BE CAREFUL TO HOLD ON TO PIECE. MAKE SURE ALL SURFACES ARE BEING TOCHED WITH THE SALT/ALCOHOL COMBO. IF NEEDED ADD MORE OF EITHER SALT, OR ALCOHOL.
AS YOU SHAKE THE PIECE THE COMBO WORKS TO REMOVE DIRTINESS.


STEP 5.
REPEAT STEP 2.

STEP 6.
INSPECT PIECE. NOT SATISFIED?
SIMPLY REPEAT STEP 3 AND 4.
WHEN PIECE IS CLEAN ENOUGH FOR YOU. PROCEED TO STEP 7.

STEP 7.
RINSE PIECE WITH HOT WATER AND PRESTO. A CLEAN PIECE.

STEP 8.
USE SPONGE OR WASHCLOTH AND APPLY SOME RUBBING ALCOHOL AND SPRINKLE ON SOME SALT. USE THIS TO CLEAN THE AREA WHERE YOU DUMPED THE DIRTY WATER.

CHEERS.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
