RE: Cleaning the Mouthpiece

Not long back we discussed mp cleaning at length and {I} found that each did his own thing! I still use vinegar myself [5% acetic acid in water] which seems to clean out the white deposit etc, followed by very mild brushing. Good quality hard rubber is really quite tough! Lemon juice [citric acid] should also be good. As has been said, the lay and tip, IMHO, are prob the most delicate surfaces of which to be careful, but some wear by playing and drying off seems inevitable. I like to have several, quite-similar, mps available, and trade-off occasionally. Don
