the best cleaning fluid

I can't use rum, whiskey, everclear and such because I would probably drink them up. And I can't drink for health reasons. I hope you get the point.

DubintheDam mentions CocaCola which I'm considering. He also mentions non-denatured alcohol which I can't find. It's all isopropyl or ethyl in the stores.

So what is the best pipe cleaning fluid I can buy online?

Re: the best cleaning fluid

Re: the best cleaning fluid

Wrapper, I know what you mean, I don't like to keep a large bottle of whiskey in the house cause I love the stuff so much a bottle would last me about a week, so I buy those small mini-bottles.

I just placed an order at 4 noggins for these two alternatives, thought I'd give them both a try, they seem to get very good reviews.

Re: the best cleaning fluid

Just buy one shot of alcohol to clean your pipe. You can get the size at the liquor store.

Re: the best cleaning fluid

I bought a tiny bottle at the liquor store .
Told the guy what I wanted it for .
Picked up a bottle of Captain Morgans spiced Rum for $2 he said put it back take Trader Vicks it will do the same thing for $1 !

Only just tried it so far so good .
And I like the suggestion from someone about cleaning the stem with a Mr. Clean amazing sponge .

91% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol does fine.

Everclear is what I use - and I am NEVER tempted to drink the stuff! I enjoy life too much!

Re: the best cleaning fluid

I am assuming I could use moonshine when the time comes for me to do some cleaning?
