The bottle holds 340 millilitres and has a trigger that mists rather than pours. That saves product: you lay down a thin layer where the residue sits, instead of filling a whole base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiquid against powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleaners for shisha come in two forms. Powders you dissolve in water first and leave standing in the base; that works well for the glass, but hardly reaches a stem or a hose. A spray does the opposite: you apply it to exactly the part that is dirty, even when it cannot be submerged. For a complete round many people use both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMethod according to the distributor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle before use. Take the shisha apart, mist it onto the parts and spray a few pulls into the base as well. Then let the product do its work for five to ten minutes, go through it with a brush and rinse everything with plenty of clean water. Let the parts air dry. These times come from the distributor; we have not measured them ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the residue sits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brown film that forms after a few sessions is mostly settled glycerin from the molasses, mixed with ash and condensation. It fixes itself to the inside of the base, to the bottom centimeters of the stem and to the hose. That film is exactly what holds on to smells, and over time it narrows the passage, which makes the draw heavier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrushes alongside it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChemistry alone does not shift stubborn residue; something has to go over it mechanically. A long, narrow brush for the stem and a round one for the base are the two you really need. Both sit with our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/schoonmaak-artikelen\"\u003ecleaning supplies\u003c\/a\u003e. Work from top to bottom and rinse the brush in between, otherwise you only move the dirt around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat not to use it on\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather and moisture do not mix, cleaner or not; such a hose you only wipe down on the outside with a dry cloth. Washable silicone hoses can go through water. If you have parts with a coloured coating or an etched decoration, test on an inconspicuous spot first. Our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wasbare-slangen\"\u003ewashable hoses\u003c\/a\u003e are the easiest in this respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow often is often enough?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on how much you smoke. At a few sessions a week it is enough to rinse the base every time and run a round with cleaner weekly. If the hookah runs daily, count on twice a week. Leave it standing with water in it after use and things go wrong sooner: standing water with residue in it turns musty within a day, and that smell works its way into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you may expect from a cleaner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cleaner dissolves residue and takes along the smell trapped in it. What it does not do is polish out scratches, bring back a coating that has gone dull, or prevent limescale rings if you have hard water. For limescale a splash of vinegar in the rinsing water works better, provided your parts tolerate it. So expect a gain in flavour and in draw, not in looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStoring it after the round\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly put the parts back together once they are dry. Moisture left behind in the stem or under a grommet turns musty within days, and a grommet that stays wet goes slack sooner. Stand the base upside down on a cloth and hang the hose out straight, so the last of the water runs out instead of pooling at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat we make no claims about\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeff's 7 Elements publishes no ingredient list, no acidity and no safety data sheet for this article.
