I have been a Listerine user for as long as I can remember, there is something about the tingling sensation that just says clean! Like many who desire unnaturally white teeth, I have spent a fortune on teeth whitening tooth pastes, mouth washes, bleach strips and professional dental whitening. All of which are counter acted by my love affair with coffee and red wine. Since expanding more on my new found love of Hydrogen Peroxide, it has replaced Listerine on the bathroom counter at a much cheaper price. This is not a new idea and people have been doing this for years becasue it works.
Gargle with two caps of 3% for a minute or two. The important thing is to swish the liquid around in your mouth getting it in all the nooks and crannies. Brush your teeth as usual and enjoy the extra foaming actions. You cannot help but notice the extra clean feel. There is a noticeable peroxide taste, similar to that found in whitening toothpaste and mouthwash.
Douse a little peroxide on your toothbrush once you are done to clean your toothbrush.
Cost Savings:
Listerine 32oz: $7.00
3% Hydrogen Peroxide: $1.00
*This may not seem like much of a cost savings if you are buying the 3% Brown bottles from the local drug store. To increase your buying power, purchase the 35% Food Grade and dilute to 3% with distilled water. http://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/Concentrations-of-hydrogen-peroxide.html
If you decide diluting is for you, be sure to keep your contain that will block out light and stored in a dark location. (Medicine cabinet, drawer, etc.) Most importantly keep out of reach of young children.
