[LB] Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I was curious, cause i clean mine like once every two sessions and i realized how important it is for taste and what not to have a clean pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiley Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I keep my Hookahs really clean. Even in the shop we will clean all of the Lounge Hookahs twice a week. The hoses get washed out three times a week. I would do more but its hard to fit it in more than those days. But I say if your a clean freak clean.. But if not please change your water LOL Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUXOR HOOKAHS Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I clean my hookah after every session. That way it doesn't have time to get hard and crusty.Using this method, I don't have to use a brush just hot water and a little soak time for the stem (5-10 minutes) Also, you should let everything air dry before re assembling your hookah.

[LB] Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) yeah thats true luxor, they get crusty! then impossible to clean. Smiley have you ever left a vase by a mistake for a week without the water being changed? it looks like a recreation of a slimey irish swamplandEDIT: so do beer mugs. I remember once we had a few brews the night before I passed out, went to school the next day came back that weekend and it was green in the mugs!

imagelessdude Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I used to clean my hookah after every smoke, and I still should.. I smoke it about 5-9 times a week, but sometimes I don't have the time. But I make sure its cleaned AT LEAST once a week. And the hoses, I run water through them after every smoke.

SafeSearch Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 i run hot water through everything afteri smoke, and sometimes i add a little soap to the base. ill brush out the stem once a week. after every smoke i'll blow out the hoses, and run water through them each time particles start showing up.

web250 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 A good rinse every session, and a thorough cleaning every month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tony Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Mine gets cleaned after each session. Most of the time it's a 5-10 soak in hot water and lemon juice, if in a time crunch I just rinse and dry. I change flavors a lot, so I clean all my equipment thoroughly.

SLF_1452_ Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I want someone's opinion on this:I clean my hookah fairly regularly, but i dont have a brush and i cant soak the stem because it's part wood. What do you guys recommend for cleaning it? I usually just run hot water thru it and whatnot, but i heard lemon juice is the way to go.Thoughts?

Allia22 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Add lemon juice. I heard somewhere (probably Sonthert) that hookah smoke is slightly alkaline, so the lemon juice helps neutralize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I have several different hoses, i have a leather mya and a Leather Red Wood from hookah-shisha, I also have 2 cobra hoses and i was wonderin if running water through them is bad. Ive heard the metal coils can rust but i thought they were steel? these cobra's are also from hookah-shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acetic acid (vinegar, HCOO3) is less harsh on materials. Again this is just my opinion. -G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
