Cleaning a pipe isn’t to hard and there are a few ways to do. I recommend looking on YouTube but I clean my pieces with 99% or 91% rubbing alcohol and some salt.

Steps:
1) Take your pipes or whatever you want to clean and throw it in a bag.
2) Now, dump some rubbing alcohol in the bag along with some salt.
3) Then, seal the bag and shake the bag multiple times until you think it’s clean and slowly dump everything out the bag without breaking your piece.

You can repeat the steps if it’s not clean enough and sorry I can help with other methods because I only do the rubbing alcohol method but Google and YouTube are your best friends. Anyway hopefully I was of some keep and remember to keep on smoking.

Try boiling it. I find that works better then @Brian's method but it’s all preference.
