What's the difference between a drinking cup and a mouthwash cup? Can I drink hot water with mouthwash?

You can't drink hot water with mouthwash.

1, different materials

Drinking cups are made of non-toxic materials, such as ceramics, glass and stainless steel.

The mouthwash cup is usually made of plastic, which belongs to polymer chemical materials and often contains toxic chemicals such as polypropylene or PVC. Drinking water in a plastic cup must be used to hold hot water or boiled water. When hot water, especially boiled water, is filled in plastic cups, toxic chemicals in plastic can easily precipitate into water, and drinking such water for a long time will inevitably cause harm to human body.

2. Bacterial growth

There will be a smooth and delicate glaze in the cup. Convenient for daily cleaning, not easy to breed bacteria.

The mouthwash cup is easy to breed bacteria and not easy to clean. This is because the seemingly smooth plastic is not smooth, and there are many small holes in the internal microstructure. These small pores are easy to hide dirt and shelter evil people, and cannot be cleaned by conventional methods.
