 Re: how do i clean my hard rubber clarinet

I have been soaking my vintage mouthpieces--Chicago Kaspar, Charles Bay, etc--for many years in a shotglass full of straight LimeAway for about 5 min and then washing them in soap & water. That process has always gotten rid of all the yucky mouth gunk with no discoloration of any kind. Also clean my metal sax mpcies that way with same results. FWIW, I do not use rubber gloves, etc and the LimeAway--or similar household cleaning products that I have also used--has never burned my mouth or my fingers. The soapy wash probably prevents that...... Results, all of my mouthpieces look remarkably "new" and always clean.
