RE: A Method for Mouthpiece Steriliazation?

When something is sterilized (technically), all bacteria and spores are killed. The only way to do this is to put an object in an autoclaave which is a pressure chamber with steam, or a very hot oven, or the use of caustic chemicals at a high pressure and temperature. These would all play havoc on a mouthpiece--you'd probably have a mound of rubber. For alcohol to have disinfectant properties, which is the killing of most organisms but not all, it would need to be in contact with the mouthpiece for at least ten minutes. You can also disinfect with Betadine, but I don't know if it would discolor the mouthpiece.
