Isopropyl alcohol is cheap to purchase, but you do have the added cost of buying rubbing alcohol for cleaning your glass pipe. Step 1: Pour the rubbing alcohol into a clear container of some sort and immerse your bowl in it.
The alcohol and salt bring will do the rest of the work. Step 3: Leave and come back in three hours. You may have to rinse the pipe with some clean fresh water after you pull the pipe out of the alcohol, but it should look as good as new afterwards. Let the pipe dry and take a couple of dry pulls to make sure it doesn't taste like alcohol. If it does, give it another rinse. You are done. You can also boil your bowl if that is better than buying alcohol. Step 3: Boil the glass pipe for 20 minutes.
Step 4: Let cool and wipe down with a dry cloth. The boiling method is not quite as effective as alcohol and you may still need your trusty paperclip to get the soft boiled resin out of the pipe. Keep this up for a good minute or two you may want to employ a timer if cannabis has altered your perception of time , then allow the pipe to sit in the liquid for a couple of hours.
Step 4: Once the scrub is complete, rinse the pipe thoroughly in hot water, gently dry with a towel of some sort, and inspect. An alternative cleaning regimen is to boil enough tap water to cover the pipe by a few inches in a saucepan, reduce the heat to a simmer, and submerge the pipe for half an hour or so. Be sure that the simmer is low enough to release gentle bubbles, but not evaporate off and leave the pipe uncovered, which could crack it. So make sure to use mittens!! To remove residual particles, use a pipe cleaner or cotton swab.
If there are still water stains, you can soak in a solution of two to three tablespoons of lemon juice. After you remove, allow to air dry. It takes no more than five minutes, but it will keep your piece in great condition, looking good, and allow you to avoid having to do more difficult cleanings.
