Re: cleaning/polishing mouthpiece

(Disclaimer - I sell a mouthpiece cleaner)
Most of the accumulation on mouthpieces is Calcium Carbonate which can be dissolved by weak acids like lemon juice (citric acid) or vinegar (acetic acid) but some are other mineral salts that are found in saliva are not dissolved by either weak acid. These other accumulations must be gently attacked by other cleaning chemicals. Rinsing your mouthpiece out with cool water after playing will not allow either type of deposit to accumulate. Crusted mouthpieces must be treated a couple of times with my cleaner or weak acids and a soft toothbrush will finish the job of removing the crust.
