Acrylic Pipe Stem Cleaning With Baking Soda

All the ado is about cleaning the airway, not the exterior

Ah! Dish soap, warm not hot water and bristle pipe cleaners and a thorough rinse work for me.

Yeah the beauty of acrylic is that it doesn't absorb anything and needs very little of this "deep cleaning". Soap and water is a great idea, I think alcohol and particularly acetone (which is what you use to dissolve lots of plastics, like the resins in fibreglass) is un-necessarily dangerous. I have soaked acryic rod in methanol overnight with no ill effects just to see, but .... why take the risk, soap won't eat plastic.

It seems some are thinking of vulcanite. The joy of acrylic is no maintenance. Just wipe ‘em off!

Same with vulcanite. Wipe with oil after each smoke.
