How to Clean and Sterilize a Mouthpiece At Home

Ultrasonic cleaners should not be damaging, unless the mouthpiece starts to vibrate against the wall of the cleaner or some other item.

On the other hand, I don't see much advantage for cleaning mouthpieces in a domestic environment. Ultrasonic cleaners work best with nooks and crannies, but for mostly plain surfaces, a rag or a toothbrush does it just as well.

(for a chandelier, on the other hand, it is priceless)
 
I used to use an ultrasonic cleaner but sometimes working with Kasper or Chedeville mpcs I don't like the idea of them kinda moving around even though they are in a plastic tray. A low probability but just the $$$ thought of it ..

I don't do the volume of mpc cleaning that jbtsax does to warrant its use like in his shop.
EDIT: also, the ultrasonic cleaner I have the clarinet mpcs cork would get soaked and would need to be replaced .. probably the primary reason I stopped using it versus with sax mpcs.
