Some have the custom to rinse their mouth in the morning to remove the ririm that is found in the mouth, in order to bless the Almighty G-d with holiness and purity. [The Chabad custom is to rinse the mouth prior to reciting the morning blessings.[2] Thus prior to reciting the blessing over the morning washing one is to rinse his mouth. Some have the custom to rinse the mouth two to three times.[3]]
Fast days:[4] On a public fast day one does not rinse his mouth in the morning. [If however this is causing one discomfort he may be lenient to rinse his mouth.[5]]
