I think mouthwash would kill the bacteria or virus.

CEO, I did that last year, just wasn't sure if I was acomplishing my goal, but it did leave a great minty taste on the calls.

Listerene (mouthwash) kills about everything. then make sure it is dry. You don't want to use bleach as that will damage the latex and plastic. Just soak it in litsterene for a while and let it dry. I suppose Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol would work, but it may impart a bad flavor on the call. You may want to soak it and your throat in some Woodford Reserve, or more appropriately Wild Turkey 90 proof :)

Love the vest, by the way.

Take a small cup or bowl and put Listerine in it and let you calls soak overnight. I did this with my mouth calls last year and did not experience any problems with a sore throat. Also leaves you with minty fresh breath.:D

Butters, I've been trying your method the last few days, but to the tune of Makers Mark (the finest KY bourbon IMO)........

The throat ain't much better, but I think I am.

Perry, go to Ganders, they got Knight and Hale yelper helper on clearance!
I have been useing it since they came out with it. I like it because it works and does not have a taste like mouth wash and yes it is a dissenficant.
I do as lab-lover says to do with mine, but I put them in the fridge in the little cup that comes with it.

Better get thatt throat better, I hope to hear from reelfoot soon !!

Avoid anything with alcohol. It will dry out the latex. I just use the walmart bradn(equate) of listerine.

The best thing you can do is throw the calls away and buy new ones I have tried every thing there is and nothing really works. I also will not blow mouth calls when I am sick with a cold or have a sore throat.
