In summer, the university of Bochum, Germany had a small study on mouth washes, too, finding that of 8 agents they tested, three deactivated 99.9% of the viral load in the mouth region, and the others also were effective to surprisingly high levels. Amongst the three top scorers was an ordinary Listerine product, with the tasts "Cool Mint". The other tested agents used hydrogenperoxide, iodine and chlorhexidrine.
I was surprised to learn that an ordinary tooth/mouth wash like Listerine Cool Mint could be this excellent, compared to more "serious" products of this category.
Additional mouth washing is part of my routine when I return home since then, like serious hand washing.
