1 Odor Removal from Clothes
Body odor clinging to clothes can be unpleasant and challenging to get rid of, especially with sportswear. To address this issue, try pouring a capful of mouthwash into your wash, which will help eliminate the odor quickly and leave your clothes smelling minty fresh.
2 Cleaning Your Washing Machine
Over time, washing machines can develop a musty odor due to soap scum and dirt buildup in hard-to-reach places. To give your machine a refresh, simply pour in a cup of mouthwash, run it through its shortest cycle, and be amazed as your washing machine emerges sparkling clean with a pleasant scent.
3 Preventing Color Fading
New clothes are prone to color fading, making them look old or even ruining other items in the wash. Since mouthwash contains color-preserving agents, adding some to your detergent helps maintain the vibrancy of your garments. For best results, use a cold-water cycle.
4 Removing Grease Stains
Grease stains can be a challenge to remove. To eliminate these stains, simply gently dab the affected area with mouthwash a few times and then rinse with warm water. The unpleasant smell of grease will be gone too.
5 Fabric Softener Substitute
Mouthwash contains refreshing minty fragrance, has odor-causing bacteria-fighting properties, and is gentle on the skin. Thus, it makes an excellent substitute for fabric softener. To freshen your clothes, add a capful of mouthwash during the final rinse cycle, soak for about 5 minutes, and then give it a final rinse.
