Purchasing a good quality cleaner will definitely help you keep your piece clean but, buying an ashcatcher will really help. The ashcatcher not only is a lot easier to clean gut, will help the water pipe as a whole to stay cleaner longer. There are hundreds of methods smokers use for cleaning their pieces, for example rock salt and alcohol, dish soap, and many others. But the most efficient cost wise and time consumption wise would definitely be keeping a ashcatcher with a percolator.
