Mouthwash is a very useful product, but not only to disinfect the mouth and give it intense freshness. Yes, you may not know it, but you can use mouthwash in the washing machine to achieve exceptional results on your clothes. Let’s find out the details.
Properties of mouthwash
Mouthwash has very important antiseptic properties. It is no coincidence that its use is not limited to oral use: for some time now, there have been people who use mouthwash to rid the canalisation of mould and various residues. In fact, many people also pour mouthwash down the sink drain to eliminate bad odours: simply pour some of the product directly into the sink and wait at least thirty minutes before using it.
Interestingly, some people also use mouthwash to disinfect and sanitise mobile phone or tablet screens, which are often a breeding ground for bacteria. Of course, it is advisable to pour it on a soft cloth in minimal quantities so as not to damage them.
