I learned in a graduate class on Earth resources that water is the world's best solvent. It may take time, but it dissolves rocks. I don't intend to have my mouthpiece as long as the Blue Ridges have been around, so I'm not too worried about chemical (water, chlorine, soaps) or physical (swabs) erosion.
The main point here is, swab or don't, to keep a mouthpiece clean -- molds and bacteria can secrete nasty substances as well as being icky in their own right -- and don't bounce it on the floor, which in an instant can wreak more damage than a swab or soapy water could do in many years.
