Nope. Oxiclean and micro mesh pads. Always use mineral oil after every smoke to keep the oxidation at bay.
Yes! This is really great stuff for vulcanite pipe stems. It's much more abrasive than flitz or any toothpaste. It's vegetable based and has no harmful chemicals. I found it's the perfect choice for cleaning the airway on an old vulcanite pipe stem. Put some on a churchwarden pipe cleaner, clamp it in a vise, hold the other end with pliers, slide the stem back and forth. It rinses off easily too. I highly recommend this stuff.
I'll keep this in mind.
Not tested on animals????? Geeze, what'll think of next

That stuff is made where they chase cheese down steep hills, drive on the wrong side of the road, and think carnival merry-go-rounds make good traffic intersections... Not sure I'd want it on my pipes.
Cool, I'm gonna try it on my dogs anyways. They are filthy!I'll keep this in mind.

But that said place makes the only worthwhile pipe tobacco left in the world.
Flitz?? The stuff I use to clean guns? Isn’t that a pretty harsh chemical to use on a pipe ?
Mr clean magic eraser works good if you don’t care about the shine.
Not at all. Many here use it.
Thumb buffing with plain white toothpaste will return the shine.
I was kind of hoping it had been…or at least convictsI'll keep this in mind.

Never would have thought to use flitz….
Flitz will def make a gun shine.
Like I said, The Pink Stuff is really great for cleaning the AIRWAY of the stem. In fact, I've found that it works so well that it removes ghost taste from the stem as well.
It feels the same as if you ground up a bar of lava soap and made a paste out of it.
I use the flitz on the outside of the stem sometimes, but at 4000 grit, it doesn't actually remove much of the vulcanite, just shines it up a bit. Never had much luck doing a good job on the airway.

That's entirely different. Tobacco too. Even matches.
But everything else? Hell, they even eat stinging nettles for fun ---
Purchased an old Barling with a clear Perspex stem that I couldn't get the stains and taste out of no matter how long I used flitz or soapy water. I found The Pink Stuff and had the airway cleaned and tasteing fresh after 5 minutes.
Hey, I got my Edible Plants merit badge in Boy Scouts by cooking, and eating stinging nettles, and no, it doesn't taste like chicken. Wasn't fun to prepare thoughThat's entirely different. Tobacco too. Even matches.

Lemon juice or white vinegar works really well. Whitening toothpaste can clean them too.
