Is using mouthwash/mints enough to clean the mouth? Thanking you all in advance xx
Don't use mouthwash! Using mouthwash around an hour before a booking can actually increase your risk of contracting something.. Just brush your teeth like you normally do in the morning and try not to eat anything stinky on booking days (cheese, onions, garlic, marinated meats, strong salad dressings, etc.). Rinse your mouth out with water after each client, and try to absolutely always have a breath mint in your mouth while with a client.
Consider breath mints a necessity like condoms and lubricant. If you don't want clients to see you popping breath mints just hide them in different areas of the room before they come in. Like hide a few mints in the bathroom, a few strategically placed under a pillow, near a window, etc., and whenever they're not looking, you can constantly replace your breath mint.
It'll be your trademark- your breath will always smell sweet and minty fresh.
