It is easy to overlook cleaning your metal weed pipe, especially if you do not use it often. However, like any other tool, your weed pipe occasionally needs some cleaning up to remove all the accumulated residue.
At the very least, regularly cleaning your weed pipe enhances the quality of your sessions, makes you enjoy your smoke more, and keeps your pipe operating optimally for longer.
Here’s the best way to clean a metal weed pipe.

Materials Needed
You will require the following:- Brushes and pipe cleaners: you cannot get that weed pipe in tip-top condition without giving it a serious scrub. Although alcohol will help loosen the stuck ash and grime from the inner parts of the pipe, a good pipe cleaner will finish the job and ensure none of those unwanted residues remains after cleaning.
- Rubbing alcohol: now, this is probably the first thing we should have put on the list but no worries. If you are going to use alcohol as your soaking agent, then ensure it has a high alcohol content. Isopropyl alcohol 70% is great, but you can also use strong whiskey or vodka (not less than 140 proof).
- A clean piece of cloth or rag: metal can withstand just about any cloth fabric. Still, if your weed pipe is made of sensitive metal, you may consider using softer material. A microfiber would be ideal.
- Rubber gloves: isopropyl alcohol is a good cleaning agent but rather harsh on the hands, so you will need a pair of gloves to protect your hands.
- A plastic resealable bag: we are going the agitation way!
- Epsom salt or Sea salt.
