Bent open paper clip or bobby pin:  ear wax remover.  (Used cautiously!)

No Qtips?

i use bent clips on our our glass bowl in between true cleanings.

I use buy a new bowl. 

Well pish posh!

We actually have a few extras we use as art, so may have to make do with those until we can physically go to a smoke shop. I like heft and a good fit. 

(that’s what she said)

What's a true cleaning? I've always been under the impression that unless one is willing to don a lab coat, then the best one could do was scrape around the areas you can reach with bent clip, cotton swabs, toothpicks, whathaveyou.

Epsom salt and rubbing alcohol are great for the abrasion and loosening the hardened gunk.  Formula 420 is pretty effective too, as is Agent Orange.  I put it all in a plastic baggie and get the old elbow grease going.

Alcohol & salt are the way to go. I usually soak mine in a jar of iso-91, rinse, then add the salt & a few drops of water and shake it up.  Sometimes takes 2 or 3 salt applications but it always comes out looking like the day I bought it.  Acetone works great, too, but I don't recommend it because of the odor.

Hmm.... I wonder if Goo Gone would be safe to use. I’m pretty sure it would work.
