Step 2: Cleanse the Bowl

Even if you don't want to completely clean your hookah, it is still necessary to disinfect the Bowl from the Hookah. The method to be used is as follows: empty the tobacco from Bowl and rinse it abundantly with hot water for a rough cleaning at first. Then use a cotton swab or toothpick to remove any remaining residue in the Bowl and then rub it vigorously with a sponge and washing-up liquid. This will remove all grease and odours. Finally, rinse the Bowl and dry it!

Step 3: Disinfect the Hose

To clean the Hose, put water inside your Hose and then plug the two ends. Then empty the water completely from the Hose and repeat the operation until there are no more deposits inside. For perfect hygiene, remember to wipe the end of the Hose with a cloth containing a little bleach, where you place your mouth. Don't forget to rinse thoroughly afterwards.

You can also add a little lemon juice to the water, this will completely neutralize the smell.

Tips:

  • Not all Hoses are washable with water! Before cleaning it, make sure that it does not damage your Hose. In the case of Hoses Marrakech, it is possible that washing with water may leave traces of corrosion.
  • To be completely sure toremove all carbonaceous deposits as well as odours, you can soak Bowl for a few minutes in bleach diluted with water. Then rub, rinse and dry!

Step 4: Clean the chimney and the plunger

Because it is not only the Bowl that needs to be cleaned, the chimney (or stem) also deserves to be cleaned. To do this, soak the plunger for a few minutes in the same water as the Bowl (water + bleach or water + washing up liquid). Once the plunger has soaked sufficiently, use the fine brush and scrub the inside of the plunger until it is completely clean. Remember to sponge the column to give it a shine. Then rinse both parts thoroughly.

If your diver is equipped with a diffuser, use a toothpick to remove all deposits.

Step 5: Clean the vase

Most of the time a whitish trace forms inside the vase, it usually follows the water level. Many people think that this is limescale and use white vinegar to remove it. This is not the case. It is carbon deposits: when you pull on the Hookah, ashes pass through the column and settle in the water and along the walls of the vase.

To remove this trace, add hot water and put dishwashing liquid inside the vase of your Hookah and rub vigorously with a thick brush and then rinse the vase thoroughly.
