newjacksm Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hey everyone! I've been on a long hiatus from smoking hookah, but today I woke up and kinda just felt good about smoking again. Overall my health, mental health is really good and want to get back into smoking. Last time I smoked was back in December/ January and before that was October. I left the water in my hookahs since then today I took them out and there was a lot of mold. I don't even want to bother with the vases, I am going to buy brand new vases from HJ, however the stems without a doubt probably have mold. Anyone have any idea how to rid the mold in them? I am scared to put bleach in there... Hot water and dishwasher soap would do? Any hookah news? I have somewhat been out of the game for almost 2 years!!!!

abzy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 You could try soak it in hot water lemon juice an backing soda. That should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Kill it with fire. http://blackmold.awardspace.com/kill-remove-mold.html http://www.ehow.com/how_5509804_kill-mold-baking-soda.html Vinegar soak help a lot. You could definitely use ammonia or something if you cleaned it well after you do the mold killing, which you will probably be doing anyways.

newjacksm Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 I am a little scared to use ammonia....It's just as harmful to the body and I wont really know if its completely gone from the hookah. Is there any safe solutions out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 i remember someone said you can use incredibly diluted bleach, like 1 part bleach to 100 parts water, and that should do the trick. just make sure to rinse it a bunch of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_lunchb0x Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 my guess would be vinegar or baking soda would work best. there more natural alternatives but there is a chance that it it wouldn't kill the mold. Before using certain chemicals i would be careful as what will rust the inside of your stem. Be sure to throw away the brush you used when your done with it.

newjacksm Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) [quote name='r1v3th3ad' timestamp='1303194476' post='506046'] welcome back...I was just wondering what happened to you...missed seeing you around [/quote] Thanks man, missed the forum a lot.. For me school has been a big bummer this semester and last semester I was in Greece over the summer with my ex gf and what a mess that turned out I just sort of disappeared from everything.. Needed to focus on my studies and work.. I put hookah on the side for quite sometime . Now I am eagerly waiting to smoke some Nakhla double apple, Mizo Orange and Mizo Guava . I am going to clean my pipes out tomorrow and a second time when I receive my packages. EDIT::: I have 98% Rubbing Alcohol will this kill black mold?
