Does mouthwash burning mean its working?

Every time I use mouthwash my mouth is burning. Is it normal?

If you brush your teeth, you remove 75% of the plaque on the broad surfaces of the teeth. You need to floss to get the last 25%. Listerine only kills plaque on the 75% you can reach with your brush. You are wasting time and money with mouthwash. Just brush and remove the plaque instead of rinsing and leaving all that dead plaque in your mouth.
