Listerine

Just wondering if you could use Listerine to clean your CPAP equipment if you run out of vinegar?

What are you cleaning that would require that?

Could you? Sure....you could use anything but should you???
I suppose a person "could" but I wouldn't do it because I don't know what effect the ingredients in Listerine would have on whatever I was cleaning.

Besides...hot soapy water works very well and it doesn't harm the equipment or leave any residue of anything (look up the ingredients in Listerine..I just did and besides the alcohol content they use essential oils which have the potential for being hard to remove).

I won't even have that stuff in the house!
It stings, stinks, and makes my mouth DRY!

I don't. I just hop on to a fresh one.
It's good to be a frog.
