It is important to clean the pipe regularly so that the residues of old smokes do not alter the taste of the product.Follow these steps to clean your pipe and allow it to perform to its maximum potential.
-
Let the pipe cool completely.
-
Empty the stove of ash and tobacco residue. You can use a pipe beater designed for this purpose.Blow through the mouthpiece to expel any debris.
-
Remove the mouthpiece. Usually you have to pull or turn the piece.
-
Clean the mouthpiece. Run a pipe cleaner back and forth inside the torch itself to clean it.
-
Clean the torch. Run a pipe cleaner back and forth through the main opening to the one that connects to the stove.Continue cleaning until you have removed all residue.
- Use a cleaning solution if you want, although it's not necessary.If you decide to use it, place a paper towel in the bowl to absorb any excess liquid, so as not to damage the outside of the pipe.
- You can also fold the pipe cleaner in half when the ends are dirty so you can use it completely.
-
Clean the stove gently. Bend a pipe cleaner and carefully run it around the edges of the stove.You need to remove some of the deposits that have formed inside, but not completely.
- You can also use cotton swabs if you want.
-
Clean the edge. Use a cotton swab and run it firmly around the edge to remove any mess.
-
Shine your pipe with olive oil. Some people think it's a necessary step, others don't like it.Do what you like.
-
Clean your pipe regularly. Don't neglect it until it becomes truly terrible:clean it!
-
Pour some salt into the bowl and mouthpiece. Epsom salt is best but table salt is fine too.
-
Place the pipe in a small container. It should be as close to the size of the pipe as possible.It should also be quite sturdy (not super cheap plastic) because you will be putting some pretty harsh chemicals or very hot water in it.
-
Pour in your cleaning solution. Now, which solution to use is a matter of discussion.Alcohol works well but can damage the color of the pipe or leave an unhealthy residue.Alternatively you can use vinegar or Listerine or a mixture of these and really hot water.Whatever you use, pour it into the container.
-
Place the pipe in the solution. Leave it immersed for at least 5 minutes.
-
Rinse with plenty of water. After leaving the pipe in the cleaner, rinse it with very hot water.Be careful not to drop the pipe.
-
Remove the last residues. Use pipe cleaners, cotton swabs, and paper towels to remove any remaining dirt.
-
Repeat the process if necessary. If you haven't cleaned your pipe in a long time, it will take two or three passes before it is completely clean.Clean it regularly to prevent it from happening again.
- Make sure you rinse your pipe well before using it!
