Mouthpiece hygiene

I have bought second hand saxophone and clarinet online. And I was wondering how I should clean them, especially the mouthpiece. And it's not just an issue with second hand instruments. Music store does allow trying out woodwind instruments. What would be a "clean" way to do it? I read some posts about bringing your own mouthpiece. How about trying out the mouthpiece itself? Anyway, I found an article that detailed someone who studied the topic of mouthpiece hygiene thoroughly. Yeah, the science is complicated. The risk is there. I guess I should wash it more often.
