Are too much teeth whitening products bad for you?

Is it okay to use Listerine whitening strips twice a day, Lisertine whitening mouthwash, and Crest and/or Colgate whitening toothpaste, or would all these products make my teeth go bad?
--------------------
The strips are intended to be used twice a day, but only for 2 weeks. You'll be fine if you only do it for that period of time. The longer you do it, the more you will erode your teeth however. According to Listerine, you can then tack on another 2 week treatment period, but I would wait awhile before doing that. The mouthwash and toothpaste are both extremely mild, but I would stop using them specifically until you finish the 2 week treatment of the strips. After that, start using the toothpaste and mouthwash again in lieu of the strips. P.S. Those strips are so gross. I hate the taste and feeling in my mouth.
