Re: Distilling Mouthwash
No. Go make or buy some booze. Do not drink mouthwash. Do not attempt to clean it with a home made still. There is no reasonable justification to attempt such a thing.

Re: Distilling Mouthwash
Lizard tried this a few years ago and was unable even to remove the food dye. The only thing that was left behind was the saccharine!
This would seem odd, due to disparate boiling points, but I think there's a means of chemical combination that resists distillation? Yeah, stick to alcohols intended as a beverage. |

Re: Distilling Mouthwash
You would be better off just making some mash or buying alcohol.

Re: Distilling Mouthwash
In the U.S. cosmetics are made with specially denatured alcohol. These formulations are not levied liquor tax, but they must only be used for approved purposes.
The U.S. treasury dept has a complete list of formulations: http://www.ttb.gov/industrial/sda.shtml go to regulations. completely denatured alcohol formulations are not subject to usage restrictions, but they are not going to be used in food as they're denatured with things like benzene, gasoline and kerosene. SD alcohols have some risk of diversion and it should be possible to distill out the ethanol. If anything, it would be a good thing to learn distillation skills on. It would have to be distilled no less than three times to reach azeotrope of 95.5% or 192 proof. |

Re: Distilling Mouthwash
Presumably since mouthwash is intended for oral use, it won;t have poisons added to it - dental companies don't want to risk lawsuits when people accidentally swallow it. This swimmer is behind the previous posts though. Don't try to distil mouthwash. Read up on brewing, make something and distil that.
