I've heard that swabbing a mouthpiece is regarded by many as a demonstration of brutality against the mouthpiece. All right, even though I don't quite believe that silk swab could wear out mouthpiece, I can accept that there might be a theoretical possibility that internal size of a mouthpiece could be incresed by, say, 0,01 mm in 50 years of intense daily swabbing. So soap, vinegar, lemon juice, specialized solutions are being used instead.
There is a piece of equipment called ultrasonic cleaner. As far as I understand, it works by emitting ultrasonic waves in water and is used for cleaning dirty jewelry, glasses etc. You put the dirty thing in the container with water, close the lid, push the button and wait for 5-10 minutes. No rubbing, no brushing whatsoever. As commercials say, it does work, but you know about commercials... Anybody has first hand experience or perhaps has even tried it on mouthpieces? I guess that if it works on dirty jewelry, it should clean moutpieces just as well, shouldn't it?
