Don’t throw away rice water, keep it and do these 6 “miraculous” things, save millions every year

4. Whiter teeth, fresher breath.

After washing the rice, preserve the water and clean your teeth. This natural toothpaste will freshen your breath and whiten discolored teeth, minimizing the need for professional cleanings.

5. Reduces split ends and hair breakage.

Rice water should be stored at room temperature in a ceramic or porcelain container (rather than glass). After around 10 days, when it begins to smell somewhat sour, you may use it. It contains vitamins A and C, which make hair shinier, as well as vitamin B, which helps to color hair. Massage onto your scalp twice a week and rinse with clean water to get healthier, shinier hair.

6. Hand wash.

Rice water is also an excellent handwashing solution. After washing the rice, use the water to clean and soften your hands.
