The most important thing to note here is to use the mouthwash that really works for you. Regardless of it being concentrated or ready-to-use, it's important to rinse after brushing, as brushing alone isn't enough. If you notice that the mouthwash you're currently using doesn't seem to have any effect, now's the time to look for the next one which should be better.
