This tip can also be used preventively. Some of our readers have told us their testimonies on this subject:
"The teachers asked us how come our children had never caught nits when all the children in the class had them. I told them that I put Listerine mouthwash on their hair 1 week before the start of class. I also put 3 tablespoons of it in the washing machine to wash their clothes and sheets. However, you have to be careful not to get it in your eyes!".
Another reader also told us:
"My quick fix for preventing nits and lice is Listerine mouthwash. I've tried it and I'm convinced it works. I put Listerine in a spray and spray her hair with it. It smells strong at first but as soon as it's dry the smell goes away. Don't rinse the hair. My kid even slept in the same bed with another kid who was later found out to have head lice. And my kid didn't get it though. I spray it on his hair every Sunday night before going to school. I think it helps a lot so he doesn't get it at school during the week."
If you don't have Listerine mouthwash at home, you can find some here.
