Is Listerine's burning sensation indicative of actual cleaning, or is it just there to make you think "Wow this must really be working", when in fact the burning has no functional use?

The burning sensation is due to ethanol and other disinfectants that clean. However, in the past many companies have released mouthwashes that are just as effective as listerine but do not have the burning sensation. They all failed because people did not believe they worked as well. So, to answer your question... yes.
