Karl, thank you for your comment. The action of soap and water, as you say, is mostly to physically remove the pathogen from the mouthpiece. The ingredients of some soaps do have a mildly antiseptic action, mostly against the harmless organisms that live normally in our mouths. As I said in my post, in my 65 years of woodwind playing I have never once used anything other than soap and water on my mouthpieces and I have never developed an infection from them.
Even years ago when I worked in a bacteriology lab, I just washed my hands with soap and water, not chemicals. (tongue in cheek "maybe bugs don't like me")
