A smoking pipe cleaning assembly for cleaning a smoking pipe includes a cylinder that is hollow to contain a fluid cleaning solution. A smoking pipe is insertable into the cylinder to submerge the smoking pipe in the fluid cleaning solution for cleaning the smoking pipe. A first cap is removably attachable to the cylinder and the first cap engages the smoking pipe to inhibit the smoking pipe from striking the cylinder. A second cap is removably attachable to the cylinder and the second cap receives the smoking pipe to inhibit the smoking pipe from striking the second cap. A base for is provided that insertably receives the cylinder when the smoking pipe is positioned in the cylinder.
