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.

Any excess substances should be removed by holding the thing upside down and gently tapping it so that any particles would be taken away. Then have the interior part be flushed with running water to get rid of dirt which have not stubbornly attached. Be extra careful in holding it because it would be slippery and you might drop it.

The usual method of cleaning and which is also the most tested on is through using rubbing alcohol. Get a resealable bag or the usually sandwich bag and have it be filled with alcohol enough for filling the bottom part. The solution should be sufficient in amount so that the object could be entirely submerged when it is placed in the bag.

If the thing has already been place and properly submerged in the bag, place it in the microwave and set the timer for about ten seconds. Bring the alcohol to boil but be alert because this could happen pretty fast. Do not let the entire thing be heated for a long time because the plastic might melt and the glass might t also be broken.

Then the bag will have to be taken out of the microwave and by then shake the whole thing so that the alcohol will get into the tube. By this, a lot of debris or dirt will be taken off but do not yet get the thing out of the plastic and soak it overnight to loosen hardened dirt. Be sure to seal it and wait 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.

When the water is already boiling, reduce the flame to allow the it to just simmer and the you can safely place the object while making sure that it is fully covered. But be sure that there were no excess particles inside the tube. Allow the it to simmer for about twenty to thirty minutes and then rinse and have it dried.

Do not put the glass pipes in water that is boiling if these objects are cold because they might shatter but you should be warming them with your hands first. Using the boiling method will cause a strong smell to diffuse inside the house and be prepared for it. Wash each object thoroughly before use.
