:percent lysol toilet bowl cleaner and 50% water
:it containd a small amout of miriatic acid similiar to hydrocloric acid
:relax it wont damage the mothpiece in any way
:jit will only affect any thing organic and brwak it up. but only let it
:soak for a minute or two so the cork isnt destroyed. then u can easily
:wipe out the mouthpieces with a cloth or sewab
:then rinse it off and your ready to go.

Wait wait wait... toilet bowl cleaner? I question the safety of that,
because isn't the stuff toxic?

Also, I've been told that I should use a water-"Listerine" combo to clean
mouthpieces. Listerine is designed to destroy bacteria and other microscopic
"dwellers". Wouldn't that be a safer alternative?
