It was suggested a few months ago to use vineger (white or clear) to clean
the "stuff" off. I used a cue tip and put vineger the stains on my 8 year
old PYNE mp and left it for about 15 minutes. Then used the cue tip to
CAREFULLY rub the junk off, then rinsed with mild, cold soapy water then
just water. The mouthpiece did not discolor and looks much better.
