Hi how do you clean a saxophone mouth piece what someone has already used.
If it is a hard rubber mouthpiece, hot water will turn it a brownish green color and ruin it. Just wash it in warm water with good soap, rinse it with alcohol. If it has any crusty buildup inside that's probably calcium- soak it in vinegar to remove it. Get a mouthpiece brush from a music store.

Usually if you soak it in water and anti-bacterial soap, it should clean it, but I wouldn't advise using a mouthpiece someone else has used…nothing will get it 100% clean

I use some paper towel, hand soap, and hot water in the sink to clean my mouthpiece. Always use hot hot water when you are trying to clean really dirty things.
