Ten magical uses of floral water that you can’t miss

Floral water is one of the daily necessities in summer. Many people think that floral water is only used to relieve itching and repel mosquitoes, but in fact, floral water has many wonderful uses. Because toilet water contains 70% alcohol, it has a good bactericidal and disinfecting effect. By utilizing this bactericidal effect, floral water can play more roles in life.

1. Wash your hair and take a bath

When we wash our hair or take a bath, we can add a few drops of floral water to the water. This will help cool down, remove heat, refresh the body, eliminate bacteria, and relieve prickly heat and itching while washing.

2. Hand cleaning and sterilization

When we go out, our hands will inevitably come into contact with public facilities. We can drop some floral water on the palms of our hands and then rub them to clean them.

3. Clean telephones and mobile phones

Telephones and mobile phones can easily spread bacteria, so we can often use a clean paper towel dipped in a little toilet water to clean the body, earpiece, and button parts of the phone or mobile phone.

4. Clean your underwear

For underwear that needs to be washed separately, add a few drops of floral water to clean water before washing, then put the underwear in, soak for about 15 minutes, then scrub with laundry soap, rinse with clean water and dry in the sun. This way, the underwear will be fresh and comfortable after washing, without any odor.

5. Clean towels and masks

Frequently used towels and masks can also be soaked and washed in water containing floral water to achieve the purpose of sterilization.

6. Wipe the mat

In summer we often lie on the mat to rest, and the mat stained with sweat feels very uncomfortable. We can wipe the mat with clean water with a few drops of floral water every day to keep it fresh and clean.

Note: When wiping, it is best to wipe along the grain of the mat so that the toilet water can penetrate into the gaps in the grain of the mat.

7. Clean bedding

Dust mites are easily attached to bedding, so after washing, soak the bedding in water containing floral water for a few minutes and then dry them in the sun. This can effectively eliminate dust mites on the bedding and keep the room healthy.

8. Spray the room for disinfection

Mix clean water and floral water in a ratio of 40:1 (roughly), put it into a spray bottle and spray it evenly on the floor of the room (especially the dead corners of the room), then close the doors and windows for 10 minutes and then open the windows for ventilation.

Do it once in the morning and once in the evening. If conditions permit, you can spray it a few more times to make the room air clean and fresh.

9. Sterilization of personal belongings

We can drop a few drops of floral water into a discarded perfume bottle and spray it on outerwear, bags and other personal belongings to prevent bacteria from being brought home while leaving a light fragrance.

10. Floor cleaning

Before we mop the floor, we can drop some floral water into the water used to wash the mop, which can both kill bacteria and remove odors.
