How do you clean a clarinet mouth piece?

Answer 1

You can go to a instrument shop hopefully with accessories and they sell a spray bottle with a special alcohol in it. it may be green that is what color it is suppose to be. if you spray one side turn it spray the opposite side then spray the inside and it may taste weird just use it the way it is. it will wear off and do that every time you need to. Or place the mouth piece in boiling water for about 5 minutes. It will be very hot so be careful! You should do this if you got sick. They both kill the germs on the mouth piece.

Answer 2

There are several ways. For a thorough cleaning, I use a mouth piece brush (bought at an instrument supply store) to remove any gunk that might be stuck in it, then I boil it in a pot of water.

When I'm sick or just feel like sanitizing my mouthpiece, I use a special spray that does it. It tastes bad if you accidentally let it get into your mouth, smells really good, but I don't use it very often since it is an alcohol product similar to rubbing alcohol. (I think it's ethyl alcohol)

You can use any one of these methods or just plain soap and hot water, or all of them, if you want.

Answer 3

It's really simple. All you need is a snake (mouthpiece brush). You can go on the internet and buy one for a dollar. It looks like a small pipecleaner. Stick it inside your mouthpiece and it will remove anything stuck inside your mouthpiece. I've only been playing for two years but I'm positive about this. :D

I hope this helped!

Answer 4

Personally, I use a pipe cleaner to clean the throat of a mouthpiece. I then use Sterizol (A commercially available steriliser designed for instruments) to kill off the bacteria and a small brush for the back channel.
