    I've used rubbing alcohol and salt to clean my pipe and it works beautifully but i heard it will fade the colours of the pipe? Which i definitely don't want because i looove my pipe and it has great colours. I heard you can use vinegar to clean them some how and its better to keep the colour? I'm not sure. Thoughts? Tips? Suggestions? Comments?

    I would imagine, you can also just clean it with hot water it just takes it a bit longer than with alcohol, done that before when I was too lazy to go to save-on

    Yeah I did it the other night because I had no alcohol on me. It works extremely well. I used distilled white vinegar but I don't think it matters.

    Alcohol is only a problem if your glass is cheap, I learned that the hard way myself lol. I let the colors dissolve, if they're coming out in the alcohol they're probably coming out in your smoke too. Vinegar works alrite, 91% isopropyl alcohol works a lot better though. To each his own.

    can alcohol lead to adverse effects? i always heard that, even with thorough rinsing, residues can get left behind and its real bad to smoke it. i could be completely wrong, but thats just what i was told. thats why i use grunge off.

    have i been wasting my money on grunge off or does what i say hold a grain of truthe?

    Huh I may try this. Do you just mix the two together then put it in a bag or something and swish it around then rinse it out?

    The only thing I don't like about hot water is, when you boil the resin off, all the resins and oils float to the top and settle on the surface of the water. So when you pull the bowl out, it gets covered in all that sticky resin again.

    One way to get around that. After you're done cleaning it, leave to bowl in the water. Put the pot you were using into the sink. Slowly add more water to the pot until all the resin on the surface has over-flown into the sink.

    Don't quote me..just read the ingredients on your bottle of alcohol usually it should be a high percent of Alcohol and some Evaporated Water.Higher percent the better. I mean people smoke Qwiso hash and iso hash..and thats made using alcohol..before/after its been evaporated. I've been using 70-91 % for my pieces for years and I've had no problems.

    I would think if anything would cause fading it would be vinegar, it has a light acidic property..they use vinegar to clean hard water deposits..although I seriously doubt either will penetrate the glass and fade the colors..

    I've had the same glass pipe for years, I actually soak mine in a glass full of 91% rubbing alcohol over night and it has never faded one bit...

    it is fucking glassss... seriously. it is conceivable that vinegar may fade in fabrics. but nothing is going to penetrate GLASS. think about it.

    I recently cleaned my glass bubbler that had years of cake in it.  I hadn't really been using it for the last 5 years or so but wanted to clean it.  Tried rubbing alcohol, gentle boiling, hot rubbing alcohol and it did an ok job but there was still chunks in it that I couldn't get out of nooks and crannies.  Finally I squirted some carburetor cleaner in it and it was an instant enema.  Took it out in no time.  I then just rinsed it with alcohol then water.  Good as new.
