1. Zap food odors from your hands

So you are making a fabulous Italian meal for your sweetie, problem is, he is due to arrive and you reek of garlic and basil! Dab a cotton ball in mouthwash, rub on hands, rinse and you should be smelling fresh (and probably minty as well) in a few seconds.

2. Guaranteed Fresher Laundry

Add 1 cup of sugar free (the sugar could stain) antiseptic mouthwash to the wash cycle, killing odor causing bacteria.

3. Sanitize your toothbrushes 

Just soak your toothbrushes in a shallow cup of mouthwash and the bacteria will be dispelled.

4. Make your toilet bowl sparkle

Ran out of cleaner? No problem. Freshen your bowl by pouring ¼ cup of mouthwash into the bowl, let stand for 30 minutes, swirl a toilet brush around and presto, clean bowl.

5. Cure your itchy scalp

Rub antiseptic mouthwash into your scalp before shampooing, let sit for 30 seconds, then shampoo as usual. The oils in the mouthwash will help kill the yeast-like bacteria that causes the flakes. * Don’t use the colored mouthwash, it could react with your hair color*
