This is a really basic question, but I dont know the answer. I just bought a pipe, and its getting really scummy, and Id like to have it looking like new again. Any tips for what you guys do to clean your pipes/bongs?

Ive tried boiling before, it worked to some extent but some resin was still inside. I heard if you let it sit in rubbing alchohol it should clean it out.

pour some salt and some alcohol in it. cover the holes and shake the shit out of it. The salt acts as an abrasive to scrub the walls of your pipe, and the alcohol will dissolve the resin.

hmmm, I have wondered about that too, would the rubbing alcohol be a good thing to use if you have a wooden piece?

Fill a tupperware with a mixture of water/rubbing alcohol, enough so that you can fully submerge your pipe. Use 91% alcohol, if you only have 70% pour more in. Also, as far as amount of rubbing alcohol, if you can, do a 50/50 mix. Then pour in a hefty amount of "Oxyclean" powder. Mix it all up and put your pipe in, let it stand for 8 hours or so, the more the better. This process will take most of the resin out, but now to truly clean your pipe, use paperclips and get all the big resin chunks out. Then run water through for a final wash. Your pipe should be pertty damn clean after this.

It depends on the piece, but alcohol and a paper clip works for most glass. It is cheap too. Pipe cleaning products work too but they cost more.

Orange Blast, automotive grade degreaser. It will work wonders and leave an incredible orange taste. As far as I understand it is safe.
