Probably the most popular mouthwash brand is Listerine. It has been invented over a hundred years ago, and since then it has been enjoying a great popularity in the whole world. It is very curious that Listerine first was used as an anti-septic in surgeries. Even though nowadays it is only used as a mouthwash, Listerine can also be used for other purposes.

Did you notice that mould has appeared on surfaces in your bathroom due to humidity? While you are cleaning your bathroom, spray some mouthwash on the walls and wash it off after a few minutes.
5. To treat foot fungi
Listerine eliminates nail fungus efficiently. All you have to do is to keep your feet in the antiseptic liquid for 30 minutes or use it abundantly on affected areas. After a few treatments, the disease will disappear.
6. To treat heels
Mouthwash soaks and exfoliates the skin on the heels. After you soak your feet in Listerine, wipe them with a rough towel. You will be surprised how soft your heels become.
