Cleaning Your FÜM

We recommend cleaning your FÜM between each Core. To do this, included with every device is a pipe cleaner and a microfibre cloth. You can also replenish your FÜM cleaning supplies by purchasing the Clean Kit, which includes two new microfibre cloths and three new pipe cleaners.

 

Why Your FÜM Needs Cleaning

The simplest answer to why you should clean your FÜM is, well, because using it results in it getting dirty! But to break it down a little further, there are a few reasons we recommend it:

  • Reduces potential buildup of bacteria in your FÜM 
  • Keeps your FÜM looking fresh and aids in maintaining the durability of your FÜM 
  • Helps remove residual flavor left from a previous Core that could alter the flavor of your new Core

 

How to Clean Your FÜM


Cleaning FAQS

Can you clean the FÜM with water?

 

The FÜM is created from stainless steel, with a sealed barrel. Cleaning the mouthpiece with water is safe, but ensure that the FÜM dries out completely. Alternatively, you can dampen a pipe cleaner to clean the inside.

We don't recommend putting the wooden barrel directly under running water, as wood is porous and can easily be damaged from water. However, you can dampen a pipe cleaner and insert it inside the barrel to clean the stainless steel interior.  

 

Can you use cleaners on your FÜM?

 

For safety reasons, we do not recommend ever using a cleaner on your FÜM, as FÜM is a product used in your mouth and cleaners are not safe for such applications. 

 

Can you use water with dish soap on your FÜM?

 

If you need to use any cleaner on your FÜM, we recommend using the pipe cleaner dipped in warm water mixed with a bit of dish soap. Then follow with a pipe cleaner dipped in just clean water without dish soap to rinse it. Dry your FÜM completely before using. 

 

Where can you get FÜM cleaning supplies?

 

Every device comes with 1 pipe cleaner and 1 microfibre cloth. You can replenish your supply through the FÜM Clean Kit, that includes 3 pipe cleaners and 2 microfibre cloths.
