Bleach should not be used on any hard-rubber clarinet or mouthpiece. Bleach removes substantial amount of material altering the size of the bore and the facing (on mouthpieces). Bleach has instant chemical reaction with blued springs and will destroy them even faster than it turns the hard-rubber back to black. Maybe Doctor Henderson has some formula in the form of thick gel/grease? In this case it would work.

A mouthpiece re-facer might find soaking an affected mouthpiece in dilute bleach useful just before the work on facing and chamber is actually performed but I personally use faster and more effective ways to deal with this issue.
