How to Clean a Glass Pipe the CHEAP and EASY Way
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is the cheapest way to clean your glass smoking pipe using just rubbing alcohol, salt and a ziploc bag! This is by far the easiest way to get your pipe cleaned, and the cheapest too! You could alternatively use glass cleaner, but this works perfectly! Lastly, don't forget to rinse your pipe with hot water after!

Same here . Then I would or the alcohol onto a plate and let it evaporate scrape up the resin and use that. More times than not. I would like to plate on fire and burn off the rubbing alcohol which would be quite a flame on a 12 inch dinner plate but it did the job.

You can also put it in a pan of hot water for a few minutes and the resin comes right out. I have used this method with glass bongs with alc. & rocksalt and it does work well for that.
I don't smoke but I do however have an awesome glass weather gage that has a long thin spout and a potbellied center area that are both very hard, if not impossible to clean as I use it as a vessel for plant slips in my window and algae grows inside.

Works on one hitters too. Mine is brass, I just put it in the bag & let it soak for a little bit then rinse it off.
I found that filling the entire pipe w/salt, and submersing it in enough alcohol to cover it completely~ let it sit for 3 hours😮; no repeating is needed~ a real hot water rinse ... and a clean alcohol rag to buff the tacky feel from the pipe.
Thank you very much

I had a HEAVILY funked up and difficult to clean ornate piece... I used 91% and mortons kosher salt. It worked WAY easier than any of the other ways I've tried. I didn't get it 100% but you gotta understand - this thing was FUNK... I bet if I did a fresh baggie of salt / iso, and let it sit for an hour, it'd have come out perfect. Note - I can't get pokers in there at all - but I did blow it out with compressed air - lotsa chunks flying out the carb, made a huge mess but I did that part outside of course, in the grass. I might try acetone next time, I've got a lot more of that, and somebody else suggested nail polish remover which is basically acetone ...
@jonnie2bad

use kosher salt. Get it directly inside the pipe. like pour it straight into it. You dont need a whole lot maybe like half a teaspoon. Then plug up the holes with your fingers or and fill the pipe halfway with alcohol. Then shake it for a few minutes being careful to not let the alcohol leak out. The whole purpose of the salt is to scrub off all that nasty ass tar. I've tried wrapping up the pipe real tight in lots saran wrap to block off the holes and it works really good. This meathod is kind of stupid with the plastic bag and just dumping fine salt into a bag. The big salt crystals in the kosher salt will knock all that tar right out if you shake it long enough.

@@jonnie2badYeah I used kosher salt, and I didn't just let it sit there, I sloshed it around quite a bit, but not a lot of violent shaking. Your way probably would work better, I just didn't want the sticky residue all over my hands - I was out of disposable gloves. I've got an ultrasonic cleaner now, and a method to keep the ultrasonic from getting hammered with funk. Basically I fill the tank with distilled water, then put a bag with the cleaning solution and parts (or whatever) in there, with the top above the surface of the water in the tank. Haven't tried it with a pipe yet, but thats coming soon! I might try alcohol and salt

You can just put the salt and a tablespoon of alcohol inside, hold your thumbs over the holes and shake it. Less supplies, less messy and faster

Acetone. The only answer. I used alcohol and salt until I used acetone. It's like the difference between your garden hose and a hot water pressure washer with soap/degreaser. No comparison. Hilariously better. Brakleen works really well, too, but takes a long time to be safe again.

I was told about this method recently to clean my bong. I was out of salt, so I just dumped a bit of 91% rubbing alcohol i and shook it for a few. Came out clean as a whistle.
I clean my 5 pieces like this once a week so I can have a clean bowl everyday. It tastes better and I know it's mostly clean. However, the area under the bowl never comes completely clean and that drives me nuts. Pipe cleaners are too straight, cotton swabs are not long enough and too big to push thru bowl hole.
