Cleaning A Phunnel

[dank7oo]

I was just wondering what you guys do to clean you phunnels??? Or what is the best way for that matter?? Alls I do it scoop out whats left in the bowl and run it under warm water .... put a little lemon juice in the bowl part and run with my fingers to loosen any grim and then rinse again ... thats ok ??

yep, thats fine. i do warm water regularly, and once or twice a month i do lemonwater through al my hookahs.

[dank7oo]

Just once of twice a month?? Is there harm in doing it more frequently ... also how do you get the strong smeels out of the hookah before the next use??

[oggie505#2]

usually once a week, i put all my used bowls in the dishwasher. during the week i just clean them with warm water

I run all of mine once or twice a month thru a "deep cleaning process". Lemon/water mixture and baking soda.

IMO there is really no point of cleaning it like that all the time unless your smoking out of it 24/7 or there is a smell that is attached to the stem or base.

I wash it out right after each session following these steps:
1. I take out all the used tobacco.
2. Run it through warm/hot water and use my finger to wipe off all the molasses.
3. Brush off all the black dried tobacco stuck on the sides of the bowl and on the glass mod.
4. Rinse again under warm/hot water.
5. Dry off with a paper towel.
6. Phunnel looks like it was never used.

This may be a dumb question, but is there any harm in using dishwashing soap on it? I may be too lazy for lemons and baking soda...

[art_official]

dont use soap or baking soda

no real harm in soap or the other to ceramic
but im over smokin a residue ya know?

just go with warm water and the green side of a sponge
try and get liquid pressure and/or your finger up in the part
with all the stick.

good luck

Just run some hot/warm water and get as much of the crap off as possible after you finish smoking.


I was saying that I clean my hookahs with baking soda and lemon juice once or twice every month to get any remaining crap or smell out.

All Tangiers are dishwasher safe. Supposedly. I would avoid running the heads through in a cycle with dishwashing soap in there...go without. Or you can soak them in a bucket of water overnight.

warm water, lemon juice, soaked in a tub along with every other part of my hookah.

water and a metal wooly...gets rid of everything.
