Keep away from flames even though its not very dangerous as far as solvents go, better safe than sorry. If you add salt you will want to rinse it out again with fresh, non-salted alcohol. rinse well with water and air dry only. Can also rub a pipe cleanr inside while its in the alcohol, works well.

Don't put your pipe in the rubbing alcohol bottle. That will ruin all your rubbing alcohol and is a waste of money. Use a little more than enough to submerge it

What people listing are good methods but they are harmful. Full of non healthy chemicals and later on can take a toll on you. A lot of the cleaners out there are filled with tire degreaser and no natural product. Then people who clean with alcohol, is very bad for you especially since its at such a strong level.

I recently came up on a cleaner from friends called Clean Dream.
Its all natural and doesnt require much work. I was able to clean my piece within 30 seconds without having to scrub. Bonus was I was able to reuse the product that I cleaned my bong with to clean the down stem, 1 pipe and 2 bowls. So I didnt have to keep pouring liquid in.

It smells amazing and makes you feel healthy. Since its nothing bad for you. You should deff try it out and check them out online. I couldnt handle all the work of scrubbing and having it smell like hell.

Sorry if this seems like a total newb question, but you guys seem like you know what you're doing so I thought I'd ask.

Scrape your pipe as cleanly as you want, or not at all, some people don't enjoy smoking their resin so they can skip this step.
Fill your pipe with a teaspoon or two of salt, depending on pipe size. You can use regular table salt, sea salt (preferred) or rock salt.
Plug the head of your bowel with your finger or thumb, and pour rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, into the mouthpiece of your pipe.
Cover the mouthpiece with another finger or thumb and shake the pipe up and down vigorously but carefully, for a few minutes.
Dump out the waste and rinse thoroughly with tap water.
Repeat if needed until pipe is sparkling clean

yup

an easy way to rid your pipe of resin is to put it on some news paper and microwave it for about ten seconds. resin will ooze out of it and unclog it. repeat if needed.

Go to your local grocery store and buy a product called DIP-IT, it is used to clean coffee pots. 1st -Add the dip-it to a dry glass bong not the whole box, 2nd-Fill bowl with bowling water and wait a few min. and rince with more boiling water. If bong is really dirty repeat process. When your done clean with dish soap and cool water. Enjoy.. If you try this cheap method i guarantee you will thank me and be amazed by it. It will make an old glass bong like brand new again. I have used this method for 30 years and there is no better way IMO.

Dip it has been linked, recently, to severe reactions. There is a liquid Dip It product out there that claims to clean glass and negate scratches. BEWARE: There is a man in a local community that has lost his sight from using the wrong Dip It product. The legal team associated with this is quickly trying to get on top of this. BEWARE.
