Deep Cleaning : What you'll need to clean an Ancient Creations Ceramics Hand Pipe or Water Pipe: Rubbing alcohol (also called Isopropyl alcohol, 91% is best) - found in your local drugstore, cotton swabs, coarse salt, and pipe cleaners.
How to clean a Hand Pipe, Bat, or Smoke-stone: Pop the screen out, and set the pipe, and the screen, in a bowl, or a ziploc bag, with enough alcohol to cover/soak, and let soak for at least 15 minutes!

How to clean a Water Pipe/Hookah: Remove bowl, if it has a removable bowl, and set it in a bowl or ziplock bag with enough alcohol to cover, and let soak. Over a sink, cover bowl hole/carb of Water Pipe with fingers, then pour rubbing alcohol to fill, and 1 teaspoon salt into mouth piece. Cover mouth piece with palm and shake for a few moments, let it sit for about 15 min, and then empty. Repeat until resin is removed!
