Mouthwash can kill coronavirus in 30 seconds after initial exposure, a new study has found.
The Cardiff University study, which has yet to be peer reviewed, found that mouthwashes with at least .07 percent cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) showed “promising signs†of combatting the virus, according to Science Focus. CPC-based mouthwashes eradicated the virus when exposed in a laboratory, but the trial has yet to be conducted with saliva.
The three most successful products were Dentyl Dual Action, Dentyl Fresh Protect and Listerine Advanced, which contained 23% ethanol, providing “the greatest level of inaction,†according to the report which is based on another study that supports the effectiveness of CPC-based mouthwashes, per Science Focus.
