If you just wipe your mouthpiece inside and out before you put it away you will never have a problem with calcium buildup, and never have to soak it or even wash it.

I'd avoid that. Too strong to then put in your mouth.

NO. Corking a mouthpiece is a $10 or more job. If you soak in a narrow
glass with the tip down, you can keep the cork dry.
