If a toothbrush/paste is absent the best thing to remove plaque is a wash cloth or even your finger to scrath the plaque off. All mouth wash does is kills germs that cause plaque and freshens your breath but plaque itself has to physically be removed. A good thing to do is wrap your finger in guaze, washcloth or a t-shirt and rub your teeth with it. Then rinse with mouthwash if available.

Though our mouth has a natural enzymes that helps to clean it, i don't think just rinsing it can clean out the sticky plaque. If you have no tooth brush and mouthwash... try a glass of water with a spoonful of salt. Salt acts like antiseptic... kills germs that could cause mouth problems..

If you absolutely have no access to a toothbrush and toothpaste then chewing gum with xylitol may help stop the adhesion of bacteria to the teeth. Mind you if you can't get a toothbrush then you probably can't get gum either. If the reason for not brushing is that it is uncomfortable start by using the softest and smallest brush you can find - even a child's brush is better than nothing and very gently brush/massage you teeth and gums.

I'm afraid that if you've got the plague, all the rinsing in the world isn't going to help.

Just rinsing will definitely not get rid of plaque.

not really...maybe if it had baking soda in it...try flossing with a bit of string first then rinse , or pollish your teeth with a piece of cloth.

Saltwater helps but it's not the answer.

It's better than nothing, but it won't do much. It certainly won't help your breath.
