The best mouthwash your money can buy
I have been using Cool Mint mouthwash for at least 25 years, I do brush 4 times a day. I do us Listerine cool mint after each brushing, my dentist is always pleased with my home care at the time of my checkups. I do believe myexcellent dental health is related to using Listerine mouth wash.

It really is amazing
I was looking for a way to erase permanent marker from a laminated photo type surface, and it suggested using one of these magic erasers, and I damped it with water and rubbed and rubbed and it disappeared. I have also used this method for stains on glossy type walls that had scuffs and stains.
Verified Purchase
For more than just fresh breath.
It's pretty strong stuff but it works. I started using it to kill germs in my mouth based on recommendations by the FLCCC docs. Supposedly it will help eliminate a flu virus so I use it any time I've been out and around other people. Also use an iodine nasal spray. Not giving any advice, just so far it "seems" to have worked for me.
