I know that you are not suppose to use mouth wash with alcohol on mouth calls. My question is what name brands are made without alcohol?
I ran some mouth calls yesterday and within an hour had a scratchy throat and today it is still there. The problem is I used 4 mouth calls so I don't know what one caused the issue.
Listerine
I have a big bottle of Crest no alcohol no dye mouth wash I got at wal-mart..
Thats Why I started using it, I would always get a scratchy throat during turkey season :character0029:
Some of the store brands. They usually say alcohol free on front

Listerine
I think Listerine is all alcohol, which is why it burns like rinsing your mouth with moonshine.
I think Scope is alcohol free, but you'll need to read the label to be sure.
Listerine Zero, for one.
I use the Crest Pro-Health stuff. In a pinch, I would use alcohol mouthwash also, but I would make sure to rinse it all off real good after about 20-30 seconds.

Nope. Rapscallion Vermilion has it right :icon_thumright:
I bought some that was the Walmart brand. Equate or whatever it is..
just use it straight or diluted
Might not be the right way to do it but I use the regular mouth wash and then rinse the call in my mouth with fresh water. So far no issues and I still have some calls a couple years old.

Listerine
21.6% alcohol...
As a teen doing volunteer work at a geriatric facility, first thing we were told was not to bring in Listerine, cause the residents would drink the stuff to get loaded...
How about using dish soap (such as
Dawn)? That is what I am currently doing... And using a toothpick or plastic fork to rinse and get between the latex...

right now I'm picturing someone yelping with bubbles coming out of their mouth :turkey2:
I've used mouthwash with alcohol in it as long as you let them sit in water and room dry prior to putting them in the frig.

Listerine definitely contains alcohol but I'm not so sure it harms my mouth calls. I've used it for years to kill the germs in my calls prior to any new season. I just let them soak a bit, rinse them with fresh water, prop open the reeds and I'm ready to roll. No big deal, I never had any problems with ruining them.
Don't know, maybe I'm doing it wrong?

I dilute and store it year round right in the solution in the fridge. In the field I put in a can with a sponge soaked in the mouth wash, it's like popping a mint in the woods that makes turkey music! Lol

Giving them a bath and rinsing them won't do any harm, I store mine in the solution so I don't want it to sit in anything with alcohol over long periods of time.
