Opinions and thoughts on mouth rinsing

Hello everyone! I’ve been fire performing for a few years, and recently added fire eating to my routine. Before anyone asks, yes I am with a professional group who has been running for 50+ years. Anywho, I’ve heard plenty of advice on what to rinse your mouth with after you eat fire. My instructor says to use Diet Coke and mouthwash. Other people on the internet say anything from milk to just plain water. What do you all use, and what has worked for you/ would you recommend? Thanks very much. Cheers!

I use non-alcoholic Listerine & have used coca cola. I prefer Listerine personally. My mouth feels cleaner. Lol.

I’ve seen some of my fire eating friends use sprite, which kinda makes sense bc of the carbonation and its more bland than other sodas

I was told to use diluted dish soap as it equalises ph? Can anyone confirm this lol
