I always used mouth wash,but not any more.
We had a brand new toilet fitted and after a little while the bottom part of toilet bowl started to turn blue,strange.
Then I recall we spat the mouth wash down the toilet,
and this was the issue with the bottom of the toilet bowl going blue.
Its up to the individual what they do,but if mouth wash can do that to a ceramic toilet bowl,heavens for bid what it can to the inside of your mouth.After brushing my teeth,I use salted water to gargle.

Remember being told to leave coca cola down the toilet overnight to remove stains.what on earth must it do to your guts?

Corsodyl does cause the teeth to go brownish
Spitting down the toilet sounds gross why not in the sink ?

Some people seem to have a strange idea of how one goes about spitting toothpaste or mouthwash into the toilet. It is not necessary to put the face near the water, or even the seat. One just spits from the same height as one would use for spitting into the basin, and then one can flush it all away. Can somebody please explain what is "gross" about that?

It is also worth noting that unless you wash your spat-out toothpaste away with a reasonable quantity of water, it can eventually clog up the sink. In these days of water shortages, is it not more sensible to spit into the toilet, which will be flushed sooner or later anyway? Rinsing a toothbrush (in the sink, before anyone thinks of something "gross" grin) uses less water.
