 Re: Plain water discolored my mouthpiece

Thank you all for the feedback! I think the problem must have been the water temperature. After reading all of your replies I'm sure it must have been too hot. I only ran water over the mouthpieces for a few seconds (no soaking) and then dried them off with a cotton rag, immediately noticing the discoloration. I have washed plenty of mouthpieces in the past but must have used either cool or lukewarm water before.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Omar. I enjoy chemistry and appreciate the time you spent providing a reason for the discoloration at the molecular level. Good stuff!

This is a very knowledgeable board, and I greatly appreciate all of your input!
