Maintaining your borosilicate glass water pipe preserves its pristine optical clarity, artisan percolation, and pristine flavour profile. Here is how to clean your glass safely without harsh abrasives.
What You Need
- Coarse sea salt (acts as a gentle scrubbing agent)
- High-concentration isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher)
- Resealable silicone caps or cleaning plugs
- Warm water for rinsing
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Disassemble: Remove the bowl piece, downstem, and any removable glass attachments. Place them in separate sealed containers with alcohol and salt.
- Rinse Initial Debris: Rinse your main water pipe with warm water to clear loose residue.
- Add Cleaning Agents: Pour two tablespoons of coarse sea salt into the chamber, followed by a generous amount of isopropyl alcohol.
- Seal and Agitate: Cover all openings securely with your fingers or silicone caps. Swirl the solution vigorously for 3 to 5 minutes so the salt crystals scour interior residue.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Empty the solution and rinse thoroughly with warm water until all alcohol scent is completely gone. Air dry before your next session.
