So I've been cleaning my clarinet this way for years now so I decided to post it here. You get some lemon juice [can come in a bottle but try to stay away from the ones with sugar] and fill a cup. Place your mouthpeice in it but make sure that the cork does not get wet. Leave in the cup for 1 to 10 hours. Then take it out and run it through warm-hot water in the sink slowly. Then rub of the white stuff that gets on the mouthpeice gentally with the pad of your tumb. Then wipe it down carefully. [this will work for metal/silver mouthpeices and ligatures to keep them nice and shiny and well, silver]

That was from my private lessons teacher. So I was wondering, has anyone else done this before or does anyone else have any other tips?

...lol. Yeah i'm sure my private lessons teacher was trying to get me to destory my clarinet.
