Zero Waste Mouthwash (and natural breath fresheners)
Georganics mouthwash tablets (use code AWIN15 for 15% discount) are made with natural gentle ingredients, and natural flavours like spearmint or orange. They are sold in glass jars with aluminium lids or compostable refill packs.
Read our dental care posts (widely used to sweeten toothpaste, floss and gum, never use xylitol brands near pets – licking leftovers from around your mouth or sink could be fatal – there should be warnings on the packets).
Avoid this brand’s gum if you live with pets, as it contains xylitol.
Each tablet is single dose, so there’s no messy liquid to spill. Pop a few tablets in your bag or pocket for travel, the office, or after meals out. All you need is a sip of water to dissolve a tablet and swish.
Using Georganics tablets is easy. Drop one tablet into a glass with water, let it fizz and dissolve, then rinse for about 30 seconds. This simple step fits right after brushing your teeth.
DIY Mouthwash Options
- Place a slice of cucumber on the roof of your mouth for 30 seconds, for fresh breath!
- Baking Soda Mouthwash: Mix one teaspoon of baking soda in one cup of warm water. Baking soda helps neutralise acids in the mouth, giving you fresh breath and a cleaner feel.
- Herbal Mouthwash: Steep a tablespoon of dried mint leaves or fresh peppermint in hot water for about 15 minutes. Cool it down, and voilà, a refreshing and soothing rinse!
- Salt Water Rinse: Combine a teaspoon of salt with a cup of warm water. It’s simple, but effective for reducing bacteria and soothing sore gums.
