Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

Here's a detailed method for cleaning your water pipe bowl, based on recommended practices:

You'll need either isopropyl alcohol or a vinegar solution. Both are effective solvents for removing residue.

Pour Solution: Pour the alcohol or vinegar solution into the bag/container, ensuring the bowl is fully submerged.

Soak Time: Let it soak for at least 30 minutes. For bowls that are heavily used or have a lot of buildup, extend the soaking time.

Shake Vigorously: After the soak, shake the bag or container well to loosen the remaining residue.
Scrubbing: Use a cotton swab, pipe cleaner, or small brush to scrub any stubborn residue from the inside and outside of the bowl.

Warm Water Rinse: Rinse the bowl thoroughly with warm water until all traces of the cleaning solution are gone.
