I would use isopropyl before I used any other type of alcohol. You can read on the bottle what type it is. The easiest way to clean a pipe is to put it into a ziplock baggie with about a cup of salt. Pour in the alcohol to cover. Seal and put it into another baggie then shake until clean. I am not trying to be a smartass here or flame you either but this question has been asked and answered multiple times on the forum and can be found with the search box. The mods really do not like multiple post. Like I said not trying to piss you off trying to keep you on the good side of the mods.

Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol. It usually comes as 70% or 90% with the rest being water. The 90% is better for cleaning purposes because it works a little faster.

For a quick clean between bowls, a little rubbing alcohol on a Q Tip also works.
It's a lot less hassle than using a Ziploc and makes it significantly quicker and easier when you do soak your piece.

Must of read this method from one of my posts, cause it's typed out similar to a few of my posts that I posted for this method. But that's just way to much salt. Just throw in a good handfull, and add more if needed.

Yeah I was thinking about the amount I just used on a bong.

When i cleaned out my pipe (which I regret doing) i put my pipe in a ziplock baggie, covered the entire pipe in salt, poured in some rubbing alcohol (the higher the %, the faster it works) and i just shook it vigerously for about 10 minutes. I forgot how crystal clear it was when i first bought it. I got rid of memories, i guess you could say... And clean pipes poop in mouths more.
