Step-by-step Guide To Clean Your Flower Pipe Properly

Correct regular cleaning can extend your flower pipe service life by 200% and keep the airflow smooth at all times, no special tools are required for daily maintenance.

  1. Empty all leftover residues inside the flower pipe after each use, rinse it with warm running water immediately while it is still at normal temperature
  2. Pour 75% isopropyl alcohol into the pipe, add 2 tablespoons of coarse salt as friction agent, seal all openings with your fingers and shake it for 2-3 minutes
  3. Leave the mixture inside for 15 minutes to fully dissolve the sticky tar residues attached to the inner wall
  4. Pour out the alcohol and salt mixture, rinse the flower pipe repeatedly with hot water for at least 3 times
  5. Place the pipe in a cool ventilated area to dry naturally for 30 minutes before next use, avoid exposure to direct strong sunlight

Can you use dishwasher to clean a glass flower pipe?

From our actual operation case records, it is not recommended to put flower pipes in household dishwasher directly, as the strong high-temperature water pressure may lead to hidden cracks on thin wall parts, which will cause breakage risks in later use.

How often should you clean your flower pipe for personal daily use?

For users who use the flower pipe 3-5 times per week, weekly full cleaning is the optimal frequency, which can avoid the accumulation of stubborn tar that is hard to remove after long-term deposition.
