I'm by no means an expert, but I thought I'd add my

Personally, I'd use something like Everclear or some other spirit that is 80-100+ proof when you want to thoroughly clean your pipe. Isopropyl rubbing alcohol is poisonous and can cause serious problems if consumed, so I would avoid it just to be safe. Also, remove excess liquid from the cleaner before use & keep the bit of your pipe below horizontal so any drips from the tenon run down the stem and don't ruin the finish of your pipe.

I clean the bowl of my pipe right after smoking using the dry cleaner that I ran through the stem. I simply fold it in half & gentry rub the circumference of the bowl & blow through the pipe to remove any debris.
