Mouthwash is a 5.33 on the pH scale, the closer you get to 1 the more acidic, such as Dr-Pepper, or any other cola. However, as you get more to 14 you'll find such things as detergent, and dish soap, all the way to lye. So all in all Mouthwash is slightly acidic, closer to 7 on the pH scale which is considered to be neutral. For example; Pure water is neutral on the pH scale.

Correct Answer:Mouthwash is a base or alkali. When I was doing a science project I ran an experiment trying to find pH of many different substances and when I did mouthwash, I got a pH of 8. Mouthwash has to be alkali because it neutralises the acids produced by bacteria in your mouth.

Mouthwash is an acid because acids have the ability to kill all bad oral bacteria that could cause gingivitis and other gum disease.
