Cleaning your hookah pipe may be the most essential way to accomplish consistent quality hookah smoke sessions. A spotless hookah means pure flavor from your shisha tobacco. Check out our Hookah Blog for more tips and tricks to maintaining your hookah!
Before you start, gather the needed hookah cleaning supplies. Hookah cleaning brushes are a must. Usually a pack of brushes includes different sizes for different hookah parts. Formula 420 Cleaning Solution makes cleaning your hookah stem, vase, and bowl a breeze. Lemon juice can be beneficial to break loose any tough buildup in your stem and hose as well.
A big step in cleaning your hookah is to take it completely apart. Break it all the way down to the hose and bowl rubber grommets. Remove the charcoal tray, adapters and hookah diffuser if you use one. Separate all parts of the hookah stem including the base and down stem if possible. This makes it easier to clean the connections and inside all of the tiny parts where crud builds up and will increase your shisha knowledge and improve future hookah sessions.
Rinse the inside of the hookah stem with water and use cleaning solution or lemon juice to break up any particles inside. With the long cleaning brushes, clean the inside of each part thoroughly before once again rinsing with water completely.
Depending on the hookah hose, cleaning methods may differ. The traditional hoses use cardboard and metal coils inside that do not react kindly to water. Make sure to clear all smoke and hang the hose to let it air out after sessions. Washable hoses and silicone hookah hoses can be cleaned. Plug one end and pour warm water and lemon juice inside. Plug the other end and give it a few shakes to circulate the mixture. Rinse with warm water and hang to dry.
Wash your hookah bowl after every smoking session. Any leftover shisha will burn each time you smoke and effect your shisha tobacco. Give it a good rinse at the very least. How to clean a hookah bowl is pretty simple. Scrub with a soft brush as not to ruin the glaze or finish of your bowl and make it last longer and make sure the main shaft is clear of debris. You can even use a cube of hookah charcoal to scrape at some burnt on shisha tobacco but make sure to brush and rinse after.
Wash your ash tray just like you would your dishes. Rinse away any loose particles and wipe down to get anything that is stuck. Remove all hookah charcoal residue, rinse again, and make sure to completely dry.
Rubber grommets help to seal your hookah and allow smoke to flow. Keeping these clean is essential to the quality of your session. Use warm water and a mild soap to wash. A brush could help as well. Soak if needed to clean buildup. Make sure to rinse completely and let dry before reassembling. Use a thick brush to clear the hose adapters as well.
Maybe the worst place for buildup and the toughest part to clean. If your purge valve BB is sticking it could screw up your whole session by not allowing you to clear harsh smoke. Disassemble completely and use a brush to clean the adapter. Scrub the BB to remove any oxidation or rust and reassemble!
You are done! Put your hookah back together after everything has had time to dry and get your next hookah session going! View our Hookah Anatomy Guide for help assembling your hookah.
We recommend you give your hookah a light rinse and cleaning after every session and a good deep clean with lemon juice and Formula 420 Cleaning Solution at least once a month. Love your hookah and your hookah will love you back. For a visual on how to clean each hookah part, check out our YouTube channel!
