CLEANING IS CARING

• Regular cleaning is essential for a fresh and flavorful smoking experience.
• Gather your cleaning supplies: isopropyl alcohol, coarse salt, pipe cleaners, and a soft brush.
• Give your pipe a bath by soaking it in isopropyl alcohol for 30 minutes.
• After the soak, use a pipe cleaner or brush to scrub away any residue.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water, and voila! Your pipe is squeaky clean.

TIP: After rinsing, let your pipe air dry completely. Make sure there is no residual moisture, as it can promote the growth of mold or mildew.

USE PIPE SCREENS

• Consider using pipe screens to prevent unwanted residue from entering the stem or bowl. 
• Screens can help maintain airflow and prevents bowl blockage. 
• Makes the cleaning process so much easier. 

REPLACE WORN PARTS
