Post by: neilep on 14/03/2009 02:57:04

Greetings All,

As someone who doesn't wash, brush teeth or even floss I am keen to know if something like this,

 [ Invalid Attachment ] **

Can also be used to clean my hands or even sterilise a scratch !!


Instead of spitting in the sink (or through my neighbours letterbox) I could spit into my hand and enjoy two-for-one cleanliness joy and luff !!

whajafink ?





***please note other brands of equally good mouthwash are available at your nearest mouthwash centre*

I don't see why you can't use it to clean your hands.
You can use mouth wash that is alcohol based to both clean and prevent infections on any cuts you may have.

You probably could.. I have no idea how effective it would be.. but I suspect that mouthwash that comes out of you mouth would be less effective than fresh from the bottle for hand cleaning
