The Messiah Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 So my brother bought a hookah off some guy. Let's just say the shisha wasn't even opened but the hookah was used. Anyway, I used my brush to try to clean the vase. Didn't work at all. I think my brush might be contaminated. Think it is OK to use on my hookahs??? Will it contaminate my vases???(This post is approved by Mushrat in case you're wondering.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchell8621 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I would be honest in saying that I personally would not take a chance, but maybe that's just me...saving a few bucks isn't worth the risk to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils Playground Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Go spend $5.00 on a small bottle Bling 420 cleaner etc... Pour it in swish it around and it will remove everything. Hell buy a big bottle use just a bit and every time you want to clean your hookah use some of that stuff. i scrubbed a hookah for 20 minutes last night. Then I sawe Hollys secret weapon on my hookah residue. She was using 420 cleaner. In like 20 seconds all the stuff I could not scrub off was gone like a teenagers morals.This post was approved by the World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 greased lightning is non-toxic and would probably work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrysalem Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Best advice-clean everything immediately after every use, every time you use it. I've been thru the 'blech' part of smoking thru dirty hoses and shafts etc and it's tough enough to get a really good smoke without worrying about everything else being dirty. My cousin who I thought really knew hookahs confided to me he rarely changes his water much less cleans his shaft/hose etc. I ended up teaching him and getting more info than i never realized from our great forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkyfisherman Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 as far as using it on your own hookah, i'd say chunk it up as a loss and get a new brush. but yea hookah care is important i clean mine after every time i use it no matter what.

timmediahOU Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 i clean mine daily, typically though i smoke 2 bowls and they are usually both either fruity, or both a dark flavors i like the second bowl because it is a subtle mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna use it to clean my brushes before I clean my hookahs. I just hate the idea of having even a hint of NHT in my hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 rifle cleaning rods and rags will work on the stems and you can get bottle brushes for the bases at a lot of places... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
