It depends on how well you let your hose dry after you did that. As a safety check for my own hoses, as I'm assembling my hooka, I blow my hoses and have a paper towel held taut on the other end. If I see rust blow out, then this is the last time I'm smoking out of that hose and it's time to order a new replacement. Even if you didn't get your hose wet, hooka smoke is still wet from the water vapor and can cause rusting as well. So always dry everything completely, every time. Happy smoking!

ph of lemon juice is 2-3 and ph of baking soda is 8.3 ph of coke and other sodas is 2.5-2.8 if you mix them, you're making both agents less effective. the acid in my experience really cleans well. so i would recommend cleaning with acid and a long flexible scrubber. then after rinsing, clean with baking soda and a bit of water, and scrub - the baking soda is an abrasive agent.

Yes! We sell them on our site. In the hookah accessories category, they are under hookah cleaning supplies. You can get all of your hookah cleaning items there!

[@beblue5377]

Awesome video guys thank youu and keep up the good work😁

[@itskozeh465]

really a great video I am Arabic and must say 90% of the videos out there are wrong but this one is just is perfect but if you have the head made of pottery you can boil it so you can use new flavor but if you are not using new flavor you shouldn't clean the head or the water every day because it makes the flavor stronger

[@jaynemiller3107]

I was wondering what if you just bought your hookah and it's a non washable hose should I still run water through it and do what you guys said or what do I do

[@BohoBatia]

Roxy girl! I just LOVE your glasses! Not trying to swagger jack, but where can I get your glasses???

[@hookahANDshisha]

@melfinaw has a great response to this. But yes, try blowing it out onto a paper towel, if there's rust, throw it out! We also suggest getting a washable hose, it's just easier.

[@jessicamuroff2022]

I have a 42" KM I got off of your site...it came with a stem brush. I think it's the standard that you give away with the double pearl. Is that big enough for me to use?

[@Jfeuerstein]

Hi, I recently purchased a glass hookah and just used it for the first time, now the bowl is full of burnt tobacco remainings which I can't seem to get rid of using hot/cold water and a brush, how can I best clean it without damaging it?

[@hookahANDshisha]

Good point! You can also just use less paper towel. But honestly, setting it upright to dry would be sufficient (no paper towel required).

[@hookahANDshisha]

It should be! Give it a try.

[@TheViolence1000]

On the part of the hookah where the hose is connected how is that part clean with the grommet? My set up is a duel hose.

[@mousejjt2]

Where can i purchase the stem brush? I have always rinsed and washed all parts but hose off with warm water till it was spotless. Is that efficient enough or no?

[@rammohy7241]

U can find the stem brushes at most all hookah shops or even an online place that sells hookahs. I use fresh lemons it works

[@KABODAGREATPOM]

What about liquid soap detergent for dishes, is that cool to use?

[@kellywong8291]

love u guys

[@autismwithavoice5507]

can this work on hookahs that are used for vaping you know how they have vaping mods you can add to hookahs

[@juancaissk8in]

you can always try getting a magnet and run it across the hose to see if there are any metal coils inside

[@hookahANDshisha]

We sell them on our site. In the hookah accessories category, they are under hookah cleaning supplies. You can get all of your hookah cleaning items there!

[@Firestrom1]

Is there any specific location where you can purchase a stem cleaner?

[@soosshant]

Would the stem cleaning trick work on my copper base stem no mater what Iv done it still tastes like copper any help ?

[@Sakura2596]

You could always use a baby bottle brush for a base brush, they're like $1-2 at the dollar store.

[@Element140337]

Does this also go for a Hookah that is all made from 100% stainless steel?

[@fairyjuices]

How do I properly clean the ash trey??

[@teodordimitrov6133]

can I use a brush to clean the hose?

[@TomSmith-qj1dd]

can you use vinegar instead of lemon juice?

[@PowellCynthiaL]

Ah lemon to break up all of the shisha residue and ash that's stuck...Thank you - just finished smoking - when the charcoals cool off I will clean it!

[@treysegura7283]

do you know what brand hose it is? that will tell us forsure

[@marcosmorales1923]

Quick question! If I lost the ball bearing to my hookah can I just use a metal bb? Or do I have to purchase another?

[@luismendoza6672]

Buy bb gun pellets they work better lol

[@kataroxluvz2rok]

sweet vid :) does the lemon juice and baking soda thing work for copper stem/pipe hookahs aswell or..? thanks :)

[@AssyrianKing4ever]

Hey babak joon, where did you get your hookah? Yours looks rock solid. I don't want some kind of sassy hookah to smoke from. Please get back to me soon so I could purchase one for myself for christmass lol Thank you man

[@welovetolaughandcry]

great video. You guys seem really cool. maybe we should smoke together one day. be well

[@LargestUndergroundbunker]

Apple cider vinegar is better than just lemon juice and not hot water but boiling (kettle water)

[@TheAlexandra7622]

Hmm, I have a couple hoses that I'm not sure whether they're washable or not :/ Is there a way to tell?

[@bellshutchinson4440]

I'm unclear as to how to clean the non washable hoses? Any suggestions?

[@adolforocha695]

The paper towel got jammed in my hookah and wont come out

[@alanstar7566]

Adolfo Rocha use more paper towl

[@ericvillafana4222]

Did you ever get it out? Lol

[@ArshadKhan-ve4cf]

After four year did you get out the paper towel?

[@wiizzle1390]

@@ArshadKhan-ve4cf legends say he never did

[@nicelyplayedgamer3777]

did you get it out?

[@MylifeinHUDhousing]

Just FYI if anybody's got a hookahs that they have it cleaned in a while I would suggest using denture cleaner in your glass basin and kills 99% of all bacteria so it can also be used as different disinfectant spray in case this work is any crazier and drop a couple of denture tablets in my hookah feel it completely to the top with cold water. I will usually leave mine overnight but a couple hours is fine for really bad hookahs otherwise half hour should do it I'm not sure what this will do to metal I wouldn't suggest it but your hookah will come out sparkling like brand new it leaves no residual taste or flavor behind and it's just great no scrubbing no fuss

[@Nomad_za]

Ok great video. But what about the smoke transfer section? That is the bell shaped part on the stem that the hose and ball bearing fits into. I find that I am getting a terrible smell out of that and it is giving my hookah a nasty liquorice flavour. My hookah is a lot smaller than the one you demonstrated in the video. p.s. I haven't smoked liquorice in my hookah at all because I hate the flavour do I don't know where this taste is coming from.

[@ActualJedi]

Isopropyl alcohol!!! It's like 99¢ for a bottle. Flush out that area and let it soak.

[@ErinElisescorpio]

So u can put stuff in ur stem to clean I was to scared to do that

[@hookahANDshisha]

Honestly, the only true way to know is by looking at the information when you order it. On some hoses, it's impossible to tell since the internal metal coil isn't visible. If you're not sure, just be safe and don't get them wet.

[@chasewayne3216]

I recently received a hookah from my friend who was getting rid of their old one, the stem is especially in need of cleaning it looks like it may have hard water build up on it, where can I find this "bling" product?

[@hookahANDshisha]

+Chase Wayne We have that located in our hookah cleaning supplies, or you can search bling in our search bar. Hope this helps

[@jaynemiller3107]

And what if I don't have a paper towel to put through this stem is that bad

[@lelaki88]

does the bowl need to fit perfectly on the rubber on top? is there kind of sizing for it?

[@hookahANDshisha]

Great question! It needs to fit snuggly, yes. There are mod grommets, egyptian grommets, and Mya grommets. The one that you need will depend on the type of bowl that you have.

[@johnnypitts5985]

Where would you get a stem brush from?

[@hookahANDshisha]

We have them listed here as "Hookah Shaft Brushes:" www.hookah-shisha.com/c-36-hookah-cleaning-brushes-hookah-cleaning-kits.html

[@tfahad2051]

Hoses can be tricky, yes

[@danielcerda360]

So do I have to leave space between the hookah and the foil or can it touch my sheesh?

[@aremaanta3649]

wow ur hooka is tall what was that think u wash into it lemon or something we don't have it in Ethiopia can u tell me other option to make my hooka sweet

[@rishabhchaudhary3903]

Hiw to clean nano smoke 360 hookah

[@sammiesuejay6483]

If your not sure about your hoses being washable or not how do I go about cleaning them?

[@hookahANDshisha]

To be safe, I'd just spin them around like a helicopter and hang them up to dry.

[@Jfeuerstein]

+Samantha Jarrell Try holding a magnet to the hose and see if it sticks, if not, you can wash it, if it does stick, it means it has a coil inside of it which means you shouldn't wash it

[@smoothz01]

READ: can some one elaborate on green crusty bumps/patches on the inside of the stem that have developed. is it normal, dangerous, how do i get rid of it. i clean my hookah after ever use by the way

[@hookahANDshisha]

Those may just be water calcium deposits. If you scrub, and they still don't come off, I don't think it's any sort of algae or moss. Probably just hard water deposits. Perhaps you should try using filtered or water in your base, and make sure to allow your pieces to dry thoroughly before you put them away.

[@NarschoolVlog]

buddy i have the same problem - its non toxic and its just calcium deposits that interacts with the brass of copper your stem and down stem is made out of. best solution is wash after each use and before session while your coals are heating and your bowl has been prepared with your favourite delicious shish flavour :D Smoke Love Peace

[@haycobbe]

You only need to put a strong magnet against the your hose. If the magnet sticks to ANYTHING on the hose... don't wash it. Otherwise your good.

[@hothmandon]

It doesn't look very hard it's just work

[@786ismael]

I have a brand new hookah but it is filled with dust.Can anyone please tell me how to clean it ? The hose is also filled with dust

[@hookahANDshisha]

Hi Ismael, our video will answer all of these questions for you. Thanks!

[@funnyvideos-mn1qm]

which one hukkah u have ?

[@icyz1609]

funny videos there using a megahed it’s one of the best it’s like mine megaheds are like kms or sometimes even better.

[@Max.901]

Can I use vinegar instead of lemon Juice?

[@hookahANDshisha]

One of the reasons we use lemon juice to clean hookahs is that it's just acidic enough to help clean things out more than water alone, but doesn't leave an intense flavor. Vinegar will probably leave a very strong flavor in your hookah, and we wouldn't recommend using it in your hookah, but great question!

[@Max.901]

Thank you

[@darrellng7617]

why not just soap n water?

[@michellexyz3382]

it'll still smell bad

[@SareMa96]

Hah i wanted to ask the same thing ;D

[@sargek9778]

Great video but not sure why your referring to tobacco flavours as shisha? Shisha is the Arabic for hookah 😁

[@sargek9778]
