The pipe stem, especially when made of ebonite or acrylic, tends to yellow over time due to heat and contact with saliva. To properly treat it, it is important to use gentle methods that do not compromise the material. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent or a sodium bicarbonate solution can help remove surface stains and reduce yellowing. Avoid abrasive products or harsh solvents that might dull or damage the stem. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry completely with a clean cloth. To keep the stem in good condition, periodic maintenance is recommended, along with storing the pipe in a dry place away from heat sources and direct light. For persistent yellowing, there are also specific stem polishing products available, but it is always best to test on a small area before treating the entire surface. Regular care not only improves the pipe’s aesthetics but also helps preserve its functionality over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"page-faq-new.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"class_list":["post-101769","faq-new","type-faq-new","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
