I've been reading that this mouthwash should be swished between the teeth &amp; spit out. There is no mention of gargling with it. Is gargling a no-no?.

I have been using this mouth wash for close to two years and I gargle the mouthwash ....even helps throat discomfort ie slight sore throat.

Hi, it certainly does. All we have used is mouthwash to date, you can feel it firing between the gaps in your teeth. Should save money on mouthwash too as you tend to use a lot less given you're only filing a small receptacle. If there is two of you wanting to use the product I'd suggest the 'twin pack', much better value for money.

I dont see why not. You mentioned just a gargle so that should be perfectly fine. Its very good tea tree oil. I have enjoyed using it.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, because I do it the hardcore way. I put a bit of water into my mouth, dump in the measured amount of powder, swish and swallow. If there is grit left, I swish with more water. For me, quick and painful is easier. It's not that bad though.

Yes, I found it needed cleaning thoroughly once a week. Instructions tell you how to pop it apart. I used a tooth brush type cleaner. In between I popped it apart and rinsed well each night. Really liked it as it did not leak. But then lost it and the replacement had a top that sometimes snapped into place and other times not. Finally stopped using it. When it worked it was great. Good luck.

I don't wash mine (because I forget or am lazy). Seems already so far! Probably not a bad idea to, but I feel like it's kind of the same as fruit. Does running plain water really wash away harmful bacteria or do you have to use soap?

I did a quick search and it turns out that you can use it to make homemade mouth wash. The link used a mixture of vegetable glycerin, tea tree oil, and witch hazel.

Did not say anything in the instructions, but I would imagine you can use dilute mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide.

It covers a bigger surface of your mouth and the longer you swish it around the more germs it is in contact with and destroys. Gargle with it too. It takes sorethroat away.

I use soap and water to clean the tongue cleaner every other day. I sit it on top of my dental floss container when I'm not using it to remind me to use it.

I imagine mouth wash could clean a sink better than this product. I use Lime Away on my sink and it turns out perfect every time. However, I never leave that on for longer than a couple minutes, then I scrub the sink and rinse VERY WELL. I've been doing this for about a year and a half and haven't had any issues.

There is a video on you tube, you basically stick it to your tooth òr gum where it feels natural. Yes it sticks once it's in place. But I use it during the day while talking and it comes lose our dissolves within the hour.

They say you should not swallow any of it. I don't know how anyone could leave this stuff in their mouth overnight without swallowing. I only leave in for about 15 mins at which point my gums become irritated. That seems to be enough time.

weird trick that I use is the effervescent tablets used to clean dentures. I drop a tablet in the bottle that's filled with water. The bubbles help loosen up the gunk in the places the bottle brush cannot reach. After the effervescents, I wash the bottle with dish soap and water. and Presto! bottle is like new

I have tried using only a tablespoon or 2 of mouthwash added to the water, so I am not sure about using undiluted mouthwash. I think it would probably be okay as long as you thoroughly rinse the unit afterward by filling with plain water and running it for the full cycle. I'd say give it a try.

We can no longer find the anticavity rinse so we had to settle for anticavity mouthwash. It appears to be the same product. It was probably because sales were dropping and they felt they could sell more if they called it a mouthwash. We still use it as a rinse.
