[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 580734, member: 1211"] Sharp bullseye there. I wouldn't be afraid to hit it with some baby shampoo* and a tube brush. I used to use Murphy's, and while it worked well, it doesn't work as well as running water and giving a pipe a scrub. I've done this many times now, and it is my new way to clean a pipe. *a friend of mine gave me a bottle of Bacti-Stat AE soap, and I've been using it instead of the baby shampoo. I still think baby shampoo works well, and I originally used it because it is a mild, thoroughly rinseable soap that I had handy for using on wool and delicate clothing (cheaper and just as good as Woolite in my experience). This Bacti-Stat AE soap works better, and it rinses without a residual smell or any leftover flavor from possible perfumes etc. I really like the results I've gotten with this soap. It's almost as strong as a cleanser as Dawn dish soap, and to be honest, I wouldn't have an issue using Dawn at this point. I've found that both briar and the finishes are a lot tougher than we think. You will have to re-wax it after a running water scrub, though. Sounds like you have plans to do that anyway. [/QUOTE]
