Still, about 40% of Americans didn’t use mouthwash in 2020, perhaps because of the “burn” associated with it—though the look of the bulky plastic bottle on their bathroom sink probably didn’t help either. [Quip](https://www.getquip.com/store/products/mouthwash), best known for its stylish electric toothbrushes, has launched a similarly sleek, refillable dispenser—“It lives front and center in the bathroom to remind you to rinse every day,” says Simon Enever, the company’s co-founder and CEO—filled with mouthwash formulated to avoid that nasty burning sensation. But the company isn’t just trying to encourage better oral hygiene. The product comes in a concentrated formula in 100% recyclable bottles that are much smaller than the average plastic mouthwash container—so it’s better for the environment, not just for your mouth. _—Amy Gunia_ **Buy Now:** [Quip Mouthwash](https://www.getquip.com/store/products/mouthwash) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2021/6113156/quip-mouthwash/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2021/6113156/quip-mouthwash/"},"headline":"A Refined Rinse","datePublished":"2021-11-10T11:11:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-02T23:55:35.980Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2021/6113156/quip-mouthwash/","keywords":["list","franchise","best inventions","Best Inventions 2021"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35653474025a7e84/698a1e8a457a526ba1d65add/best-inventions-2021-quip-mouthwash.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35653474025a7e84/698a1e8a457a526ba1d65add/best-inventions-2021-quip-mouthwash.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2021/6113156/quip-mouthwash/","name":"A Refined Rinse"}}]}] ```
