Hookah

Sterilize is probably the wrong term to think of. Generally, using a hard alcohol like vodka is used to clean the bowl/stem. Hoses can't be sterilized persay (unless said bar has a washable hose). This is why hookah bars use plastic tips to cover mouth piece of the hose to prevent your lips touching someone elses.

Word to the wise- if your hose doesn't explicitly say it's washable, that means if you run water through it- the innards of the hose will rust and decay. You don't want that happening.
