Codename067 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I use this material..forgot what it was called..I will find out for you tonight. I never boiled it before, I'm almost certain that it should be ok to boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've heard of people boiling it for five minutes... You should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 believe it or not, i have successfully used a wad of crinkled up foil to clean mine...it worked really well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I just use a scotch brite and takes off pretty much everything. cleaning after every session helps to keep the build up low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehelios Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I needed this. Just started using my phunnel again and the top 2 mm of the rim is blacked with stuff and didn't know of an effective way to g4et it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 yah mine is seriously caked on, a few mm worth. i do scrub it each time with a scotch brite but it doesnt come off, so i think i need to boil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhineholt Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I think your problems might be not cleaning it after every use. I find it to be a lot easy to clean the bowl after I just finished smoking. Another thing, try to make sure all the tobacco is off the side of the bowl before smoking it.

hookah hippie Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 as it was said before scotch brite it works really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantastik Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 If you've got another bowl to use for the time being, what i usually do is soak one of my phunnels in a cup of cold water for days at a time. by the 24th-48th hour, the water would have changed color and you are able to see how much cleaner soaking. Shoot it even smells cleaner! Never tried boiling it though, i'm too much of a pansy to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illiniSAC Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I just use steel wool. Haven't had any problems with paint coming off either, by the way. I usually smoke at night, and clean in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 yeah, i will be boiling it tonight, taking before and afters, i dont think some of you realize how bad my bowl is. my phunnel laughs at me when i bring the scotch brite out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think you guys' problem is y'all just take forever to clean your phunnel after you finish smoking and allow all that crap to get stuck on there. If you clean it right after smoking you shouldn't even have to scrub it really. I can just easily rub my clean with my fingers and water...

ryno Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Usually use a sponge with a scotch bright pad side on it and hot water. Like other said, you might need to clean it more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I believe they are:P I myself am lazy, my Phunnel has like black caked on crap around the rim of the bowl and also around the rim of the hole. I think I need to boil mine too, I never have done but it looks like I will have too. Once I finished smoking I just leave it there, I put my hookah to the side and it can sit there for like 2-5 days without getting touched. The next time I decide to smoke it I have to unwrap the foil and clean it up to smoke, I sir am lazy haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 They are dishwasher safe. I would rinse them real well after, if I did that though. Many dishwashing detergents have residue that makes dishes come out "spotless" which is really a thin layer of soap. I soak mine in cold water for 24 hrs. That gets them pretty clean. If there's stuck on black stuff, use a green scrubby sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) ...so I boiled it. ended up with good results. I had to let it sit in the boiling water for a couple minutes, then pull it out, take a layer of the caked on crap off with a steel wool pad. I repeated that process about 3 or 4 times. here are some before and after pics [img]http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/7039/dirte2.jpg[/img] another dirty [img]http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7020/dirte1.jpg[/img] and CLEAN!
