JOHANNES GERBER

Mouthpiece Care

Congratulations on investing in a Johannes Gerber masterpiece. Your mouthpiece is made to exact specifications using the highest quality German Hard Rubber composite material. Please take the necessary precautions to prevent exposure to high temperatures. i.e. leaving it inside a vehicle on a hot day. To clean, rinse your mouthpiece with cold water and gently dry with a soft towel. You may also dilute white vinegar and water at a ratio of 25% white vinegar to remove stubborn residue by means of gently brushing the chamber with a soft brush.
