Keeps Flowers Alive

You may be one of the many people who find it quite impossible to keep flowers alive. You may think you water them enough, but they still seem to die pretty quickly. Well, using mouthwash can help the flowers stay alive much longer. Replace the water in your vase with four pints of water mixed with a tablespoon of mouthwash. This mixture will kill bacteria that can speed up decomposition in your flowers.

After a conference on his research activities, Sir Joseph Lister acknowledged two other people who were a huge part of the LISTERINE® brand. Dr. Joseph Lawrence, the creator, and Robert Wood Johnson, the founder of the group that markets the product to this day, Johnson & Johnson group. In 1879, Dr. Joseph Lawrence combined a formula in his laboratories. Of course, he was inspired by Sir. Joseph Lister, which is who he named the company after.
