PhatBeezie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Ok , when i have smoked the last 3 times or so i get this nasty taste mixed in with the smoke that is not from burning shisha, so i went to clean it and after i was done i smelled the stem and it smelt exactly like what i tasted (if that makes sence to you), so i was thinking lemon juice might work but i dont have any around, so could i possible use dish soap and water and soak just the stem ? or is their some other home cleaning product that I could use , and also if you think it is rust ( becuase i cant tell ) or if you have had a rusted stem , could you describe how i can tell , becuase luckly i just bought some CLR for my tray.

Lemon juice is the way to go... if the acid from the juice doesn't do it, a good chemical deodorizer would work. I think CLR might just be suited for this purpose, but I have only used to to remove the surface rust off of metal, so I dunno. But its worth a shot!

PhatBeezie Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 No , I rinsed it so much , so how does dish soap stay on the metal ? wouldnt it just rinse off ? but ill try lemon juice too , hopefully it works cuz im broke as a joke and cant get another hookah right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'd say try lemon juice. I've never tried it but from other peoples reviews it seems to help out a lot.I just wash my stem with warm-hot water and use my pipe cleaner to scrub all the gunk out.Might smell a lil funny but it doesn't affect the taste/flavor when it's ready for use.
