Disassembling your hookah can help you learn how it works. Study how each piece goes together and how the different parts work. This can help you troubleshoot issues with your sessions in the future! Break it all the way down to the hose and bowl rubber grommets. Remove the charcoal tray, adapters and hookah diffuser if you use one. Separate all parts of the hookah stem including the base and down stem if possible.
This makes it easier to clean the connections and inside all of the tiny parts where crud builds up and will increase your shisha knowledge and improve future hookah sessions. This is where those hookah cleaning brushes come in handy when learning how to clean a hookah stem. The brushes do the work for you and break loose any leftover tobacco juice or glycerin left inside.
Use warm water to rinse and voila! Depending on your hookah hose , how to properly clean a hookah hose may differ. The traditional hoses use cardboard and metal coils inside that do not react kindly to water. Make sure to clear all smoke and hang the hose to let it air out after sessions. Washable hoses and silicone hookah hoses can be cleaned. Plug one end and pour warm water and lemon juice inside. Plug the other end and give it a few shakes to circulate the mixture.
Rinse with warm water and hang to dry. Wash your hookah bowl after every session. Any leftover shisha will burn each time you smoke and effect your flavored tobacco.
Give it a good rinse at the very least. How to clean a hookah bowl is pretty simple. Scrub with a soft brush as not to ruin the glaze or finish of your bowl and make it last longer and make sure the main shaft is clear of debris. Even if you're pretty good about maintaining your hookah, every once in a while you should do a deep clean to make sure that it produces the best flavor possible.
It's best to break the process into four steps: hose, small parts, stem, and base. Log in Social login does not work in incognito and private browsers.

The hose through which you inhale the smoke is connected to the hookah, but not permanently. Twist the hose gently from side to side to work it loose from the base, then pull it so the pieces separate. If the hose seems lodged firmly, continue twisting rather than tugging insistently.
Don't apply enough force to damage the hookah. Blow through the hose. By putting your mouth on the spout where you normally inhale, and blowing through it forcefully, you expel any lingering stale smoke that might affect the taste you experience the next time you smoke.
Rinse the hose if it is washable. Do this whenever you feel the taste of your smoke is being affected — every tenth use or so at the least. You should never use soap or any other chemical products when rinsing your hose — simply run regular tap water through it.
Run the faucet in your sink, placing one end of the hookah hose under the water. Make sure the water makes its way into the hose. Let water rinse through the hose for about thirty seconds, then turn off the faucet. Lift one end of the hose up high to allow the water to drain out of the hose. Hang the hose somewhere with a towel underneath it to catch the water that will drip out of it as it dries. Remove particulate matter from unwashable hoses.
Fold the hose over so both ends are in on hand. Using moderate force, thwack the hose into a soft but sturdy object to jar loose the particulate matter within. A sofa is a good object to thwack it against. Blow through each end of the hose as hard as you can to expel the particulate matter. Hook the hose up to a vacuum cleaner or air compressor like a bicycle pump if you have trouble summoning the required lung strength. Part 2. Take the entire hookah apart. The top part of the hookah relies on the broad base at the bottom to stand up straight, so take all of the pieces apart to keep the hookah from toppling over.
Unscrew and remove the release valve. Remove the grommet from the hose port. Remove the bowl from the top of the hookah. Remove the bowl grommet that was underneath it. Lift off the tray that catches coal ash, making sure to dispose of any ash in it without making a mess. Twist and jostle the stem of the hookah gently until it comes loose from the base, and set it aside. To clean your bowl thoroughly and remove all residue, you should use steel wool, not scrub sponge ok?
Check the image. That is the one you should use, the same used to clean grill grates. Depending on the amount of crust and dust in your bowl, it can be clean and shiny after one wash. Add some popcorn, detergent and water to the vase and after a few good shakes it will be clean. If there is still mold left, all you have to do is repeat the process. The same process can be done using rice instead, but as the corn is bigger, the result is better and faster, mainly to get the grains out of the vase.
Fill the vase with water, add bleach and leave it. After 2 or 3 days, clean and rinse it thoroughly with running water. If the stem and downstem are not cleaned, tobacco molasses might build up. Tobacco molasses might block the air-flow, ruin the taste in your hookah sessions and even damage your hookah. So, the best thing to do is to use a small brush. Add detergent to a wet brush, pour water into the stem and scrub off any stubborn resins left on the inner and outer downstem walls.
The same brush you used to clean your stem, can be used to clean the hose. But Zomo, my hose is too long, what should I do? Remove the hookah mouth tip and rinse the hose out with running water. Open up the faucet to allow a strong flow of water.
