Yes, theoretically, you could use dish soap, in combination with hot water, however, from past experiences I have found that to be somewhat ineffective. Parooze your local grocery store and purchase a container of isopropyl (spelling?) alcohol and dump it into a bucket. Submerge your pipe in the chemical and let it sit overnight. By morning, your piece should be looking like new.
dont be so lazy allie cat haha alrite this is wat i do and its ghetto but do it it works fine 1. get like 10 tooth picks cuz they break alot 2. just put plain soap on it (liquid soap) and then 3. scrape with tooth picks 4. get a kleenex and use that with the toothpicks to clean rez 5 constantly rinse with water to keep from gettting soapy enjoy
^^^ ive done that and it works really good actually. ive heard u can scrape ur bowl, then let it sit in alcohol like rubbing alcohol overnite or for a couple hours ya know and then by morning all the resin will beout and u rinse it and then get watever left out. it works good too. peace~
do none of the above besides the alchohal options once your done let the alchohal evaporate and smoke the resin
Yea, if you're going to rinse it with water, hot water always does a better job than cold. But if your piece is thin don't make the water too hot, piece might shatter.
right... if i ever get the urge to smoke out of a completely clean pipe... i usually just buy a new one... other than that the most my pipes get cleaned is the bowl itself
rubbing alcohol is great. i also used to take baths a lot, and i would just bring it in there with me. shampoo worked pretty well for me. and you know those tiny brushes they give you when you get braces? cleans that baby out like a charm!
haha i'll keep that in mind. my friend used to clean her piece with some kinda crazy chemical. it'd kinda linger in there and the highs we'd get would rock.
well i just got a bowl of hot water and some dish soap..and im gunna let my pipe sit in there for a little while..then im gunna take it out and scrape it out with some tooth picks..and set it back in for a bit..do the same thing..hope it works
This is going to freak everybody out, but brake cleaner. I swear up and down, it works like magic. My boyfriend is a seasoned toker (workin on 10 years now) and that's his favorite method. He squirts a good bit in the bowl and stem, shakes it up really good for awhile, works it around for a few minutes (basically, covers up all the holes and shakes it), then makes sure to wash it thoroughly with dish soap and water. The brake cleaner will remove resin and make your pipe look clean as the day you first had it, and the soap and water afterwards will be sure to remove any possibly toxic fumes/chemicals left inside. He's been doing it for years and hasn't died yet, so I swear by it.
