Today came the time to clean my pipe. I didn't have any rubbing alcohol (which I usually use) so I thought outside the box. I realize we had a handheld steam cleaner and wondered how it would work. Let me tell you, the pipe looked about brand new in 10 seconds. It worked amazing. These steam cleaners work really good for anything and can be had for 30-40$ from walmart or target (etc) they look like this:
When I did it, it all blew out and left black resin streaks all over my door! Good thing the steam cleaner also got that off.
