Water isn't bad for a plastic or hard rubber mouthpiece. Hot water can discolor a hard rubber mouthpiece, so keep it cool. Mild soap won't hurt it either. Use a medium-soft brush on the outside and a cone-shaped mouthpiece brush in the inside. Be careful about the cork. I wrap the cork with plumbers Teflon tape before cleaning to protect it. Also be careful with the tip of the cone-shaped internal brush that you don't inadvertently chip the tip of the mouthpiece by brushing to vigorously.

If it is a vintage wood mouthpiece, all bets are off!
