I'm a Listerine Guy myself

I also just looked at that. It seems like a waste of money and it really isn't cleaning them. It may be sanitizing them, however. It is blasting them with UV light. That will kill the germs that the light reaches but I'd be skeptical about whether the UV light can reach all the insides of the whistle where it is likely damp the longest and where the bacteria is most likely to grow.

Instead, I pour 2-3 ounces of Listerine in a small cup and drop the whistles into it for a couple hours. That definitely reaches the entire whistle, will kill anything that is there, and will dissolve or soften most of the residue that may have formed so that it can be rinsed away under the faucet. Cost... probably pennies per year.
I just look at the ROI. For the number of whistles I buy over the course of a few yrs, and how long each one lasts (mostly the rubber mouthpiece cracking), how long would it take for this product (for $39.99 plus S&H) to stretch the life of each whistle to where their life and cleanliness would be so much better/longer to make it worth my while?

Guess I'll pass. For me, a solution for a non-problem.
