Step 1: Disassemble the One-Hitter

Step 2: Soak the One-Hitter in Isopropyl Alcohol

Step 3: Add Salt and Shake

After the one-hitter has soaked, add a tablespoon of salt into the bag and shake it vigorously. The salt acts as an abrasive, helping to remove any remaining resin or tar.

Step 4: Rinse with Boiling Water

Next, rinse the one-hitter with boiling water to remove any remaining alcohol and salt. Hold the one-hitter over a sink and pour the boiling water through it. Be careful not to burn yourself, and ensure that all alcohol and salt are washed away.

Step 5: Use a Pipe Cleaner or Cotton Swab to Clean the One-Hitter

For hard-to-reach areas, use a cotton swab or pipe cleaner dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean out any remaining resin or tar.

Step 6: Rinse with Dish Soap and Water

Finally, rinse the one-hitter with dish soap and warm water to remove any remaining residue or cleaning agents. Dry the device thoroughly with a cloth or paper towel.
