I caught a thread in these forums that had about a million posts about cleaning whips and wands. when I saw them advising the use of alcohols and other substances I decided to type this up.
DO NOT USE Chemicals to Clean your Wands or Whips.
Best thing to do with the hose is replace it. But you can take the old hose cut it into chunks put it in the cup in the microwave and boil the resin right off it also. As long as it was good Quality hose there is absolutely no danger and the results are magnificent.
Remember this wont work with combustion appliances.

- Get a tall coffee cup. fill it oh 1/3 - 1/2 full of plain water.
- Remove screen from Whip and put wand dirty side down into the water.
- Put the cup and the wand in the microwave on a piece of paper towel.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds. or until it boils. (this could be a couple of minutes) Grab a tooth pick.
- Remove the cup and you should have a fairly clean wand and a pool of mud floating in the water. Gather that mud on your tooth pick and set it on a piece of paper towel.
- Repeat until there is nothing much left in the wand. you can clean the last traces with a piece of paper towel on a pencil. Takes me about 10 minutes till its sparkling clean.
- Ball up the "mud" you can squeeze off the residual moisture let it set a day or so. It's an excellent hash.
