Dental Care Rinse Water for Reed Sanitization

Author: Hiroshi

When I start to use a new reed, I always sanitize it dipping it in H2O2 or ReedLife to kill micro oranism who shorten Reed lives.(I know also Japanese tea has sanitization ability.)

But they have drawbacks:cancer inducing possibility for H2O2 and high cost for ReedLife.

Impacted somewhat by 'hot sause' posting, I found another way:
Gum dental care liquid,which kills germs inside mouth, includes Vitamin E, and lasts long. Can be used both for mouth and reeds.

Obviously,it is not bad for mouth and Vitamin E is known good to avoid anything organic from getting rotten. How is this idea?

I dip 4 reeds and will wait for 2 days to dry up in my ReedGuard.

P.S. To wet before using reeds, I use mineral water not city potable water. It feels better. Soft kind(less Ca+) seems better. No scientific background.
