How to use mouthwash for various purposes

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.
