iknewmroctopus Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Has anyone used 420 cleaner to clean their hookahs? I uasually just use lemon juice mixed with water and then let it soak for a while but I still don't get all the gunk out (although I did loose my cleaning brush).

entrailsgalore Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 cleaning brush would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 i bought the stuff and tried it. In my opinion, it is not good. seemed to work well but does have a bit of a residual taste. best thing to use to clean a shisha is the standard washing up liquid that you use to wash your dishes etc. does the job fine. (btw not scented ones like citrus or something, just original scent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknewmroctopus Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 how about putting the hookah through the dishwasher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To100YearsToLate Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 i think that might be overboard and it wouldnt scrub the inside out... and thats what you want most of all when cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknewmroctopus Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 i have the engineer hookah that you can take apart, so if i take it all apart i could put each section on one of those little spokes in the dishwasher that hold the plates. the water would squirt right up into each one. and the water is really really hot too so I was thinking that it might flush out all the nasty gunk thats built up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamaliel Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yer prolly better off just getting a cleaning brush.I just use the cleaning brush and hot water and that does the job fine.I always clean my hookah after a day's smoking session,or if I switch to a different flavor.

ApoC Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Methyl Hydrate is cheap and extremely effective, no residual taste or smell whatsoever, and it will clean out even hard tar from pipes/bongs. cheap and plentiful, check at a hardware store near you. Personally after every use or so I just disassemble mine and use the cleaning brush in the bathtub with hot water, cleans everything right out. If theres anything in the base which wont scrub out, methyl hydrate makes very quick work of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknewmroctopus Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 are there any specific brands that are better than others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I use dishsoap with hot water and the brush. Sometimes I use 409 and let it foam up. You'll see the green ooze out! Follow with lavender PineSol and hot water sprayed in, then hot water rinse. Or just keep it simple and use antibacterial dish liquid and the brush, scrub well the whole length, and rinse. Squirt 409 down the hose receptacle on the stem to clean that, rinse with hot water. In other news, the hammer is being prepared. ---Reiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
