Care and Cleaning

Here is how to clean your new piece, YOU LIL’ COSMIC BABE

  1. Grab some 91% or 99% isopropyl alcohol, salt, & either a couple q-tips or pipe cleaners.
  2. Pour some salt into your piece and then add the alcohol. The salt will act as an abrasive and the alcohol will break down the resin/gunk left inside the pipe.
  3. Give that babe a vigorous shake. Use the q-tips/pipe cleaners to help further the cause of cleanliness. Don’t forget the bowl.
  4. Repeat as necessary.
  5. Finish by flushing & RINSING the pipe with some hot water. be careful and be sure to have a good grip we don’t want any loosey goosey business. In fact, I will sometimes lay a towel in the sink in case things get slippy.
  6. AIR DRY YOUR PIECE or use paper towels or any type of towel to dry. 

Here is what not to do

Don’t put your piece in boiling water – even though it is ceramic & fully glazed, thermal shock is still in play. Hot water is absolutely stellar, but I would not boil your piece to clean it. If your piece has gold, copper, or platinum luster accents try not to scrape those areas with a metal abrasive. The luster is fired on & is super sturdy so you don’t need to worry about isopropyl alcohol, hot water, rubbing or usage.
