Things You’ll Need:

• Warm (almost cozy) water
• Refined isopropyl alcohol - 90% strength is splendid
• Coarse salt - a touch of the ocean’s embrace
• A soft brush or dainty pipe cleaners
• A small funnel (optional, but charming) 
• Plastic wrap & rubber bands (for sealing openings)
• Zip-top bag (for removable parts) 

Printable version below - check off as you clean, darling.

Step One - Preparations, My Dear

Empty your lovely water pipe of any water or past adventures.

Gather everything from the list above and set the mood - perhaps a little music or candlelight while you work. 

Step Two - A Delicate Initial Rinse

Pour warm water into your pipe and give it a gentle swirl. 

We’re simply saying goodbye to any lingering memories inside. 

Step Three - The Salt & Alcohol Waltz

Add a graceful sprinkle of coarse salt - it’s our secret scrubbing partner. 

Pour in the isopropyl alcohol and let the two mingle.

If your pipe has removable parts (like a bowl or downstem), place them in a zip-top bag with the same mixture. 

Step Four - A Gentle Dance

Seal any openings with plastic wrap and a rubber band, or simply use your hands. 

Now, give her a soft shake - a moonlit waltz - letting the salt and alcohol sweep through every curve.

Your bagged pieces can join the dance too, with a gentle jiggle. 

Step Five - Brush with Elegance

Use your soft brush or pipe cleaners to coax away any stubborn spots. 

It’s like painting in reverse - restoring her shine one stroke at a time. 

Step Six - Rinse & Rejoice

Once satisfied, pour away the mixture and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Make sure every trace of salt and alcohol has left the ballroom.

If she isn’t glowing just yet, let her dance again. 

Step Seven - Air’s Gentle Embrace

Let her rest and bask in the open air until completely dry. 

It’s her beauty sleep, after all. 

Remember, my dear, a well-pampered pipe is a loyal companion.

Relish every moment, and let your piece shimmer with grace once more. 

Cheers to elegance and purity,
