Tips On Cleaning Glass Pipes

By Dawn Williams


If you have some glass pipes which need cleaning, you do not have to get the help of somebody. Doing it can be simply done using the following tips. Read on to know how to start with.

Remove any particles which should not have been there by simply turning it upside down and tap it gently. Then flush the inside portion with running water so that any dirt that has attached will also be removed. Use caution in holding the wet object because it might slip in your hands and be dropped.

The most common and tested way of doing it is by using of rubbing alcohol. Obtain a resealable plastic bag or a sandwich bag and fill that with alcohol but only placing a sufficient amount enough to fill the bottom part. Be sure that the solution is adequate to submerge the object upon placing it inside the bag.

Then place the bag with the thing inside being submerged in alcohol in the microwave and set it for about ten seconds. Be sure to wait a little until you see the alcohol boiling which usually happens rapidly. Never let it stay for too long because that will only cause the plastic to melt or that the glass itself could be damaged.

Take the bag out of the microwave and shaking of the entire thing will allow the alcohol to go inside the tubing and this will result to the taking of the debris away. The thing itself will remain in the plastic because it should still be soaked overnight so that the hardened dirt will be loosened. Seal it properly and keep it there for about eight to ten hours.

When the thing has already been soaked for the required time, taking it out of the bag follows which should then be rinsed well with running water. Moreover, sometimes there will remain stubborn dirt which usually happens when cleaning is not regularly done. To take them off, get some pipe cleaners or some cotton balls which can also do the job.

After it has dried thoroughly, it can then be used again and this completes the whole process. There are however other ways of doing it if you do not want to use alcohol and it can be done by boiling water. Get a small pot and fill it enough to submerge the object and place it on the stove.

After it has been brought to boil, the heat should be reduced to cause only simmering and by that time the object can be placed safely but make sure that it would be entirely submerged. Ascertain that you already have removed any particles inside. Simmering will be good for only twenty up to thirty minutes then rinsing follows.

In cleaning your glass pipes, be sure not to put them in boiling water if they are cold because it will cause their shattering but warm them first with your palms. If the boiling method will be use, expect that the entire house will be filled with a strong odor. Be sure to wash them well before using.
