List of bathroom items

Things you might find in a bathroom, from things you can hold in your hand right through to built in furniture.

A cotton swab is a wad of cotton at either end (or just one end) of a short stick. Cotton swabs are useful for cleaning in places you can't reach with your fingers.
Deodorant comes in spray cans, pump packs or as a roll on. Deodorant has an antiperspirant effect, which means it stops you from sweating and makes you smell nicer. Most people use deodorant on their armpits.
Disinfectant is a substance that is used, usually while cleaning, to kill most germs and micro-organisms it comes into contact with. Disinfectants by no means kill all micro-organisms, which can cause its own set of problems as the ones that survive can then breed with less competition from the other micro-organisms that the disinfectant killed.

Mis forMangle

A mangle, also known as a wringer, is designed to squeeze water out of wet clothes, so they are not dripping wet when they are hung out to dry. Mangles are made from two rollers close together that squeeze the clothes between them. They were used before modern washing machines that have built-in spin driers.
