You have probably heard the name of distilled water and heard that it has many uses. Many people know that distilled water is good for ironing, but did you know that it is also the best drinking water available? Distilled water can be used in everything from drinking to watering plants and food preparation processes. Today, for nearly 50 years, distilled water devices have provided clean and quality water free of any chemicals, toxins, viruses and bacteria for domestic and industrial customers.

What is distilled water?

Distilled water is water that has been heated; has evaporated; It is re-distilled and collected in a container. This water is very similar to rainwater. (Of course, if the raindrops during raining have not absorbed and contaminated the pollutants in the air) this method is the best water purification method that imitates nature. During this process, when the water evaporates, all the toxins, bacteria, chemicals and extra substances remain in the container and only the water evaporates. When it condenses again, only pure water remains and its impurities have been removed (actually they remained in the previous container).

Domestic applications of distilled water

Distilled water is used in many household applications. In other articles , we have already mentioned some of these uses, such as using distilled water as  the best radiator water . But in the following, we intend to introduce you more to the uses of this pure water.

Use distilled water for cooking

In any recipe that uses water, distilled water can be a good option. Using distilled water in soups can make the soup taste better and purer. The taste of all the spices used in the soup is clearly felt. Baking bread and sweets using distilled water makes it better quality. Because it reduces many additives such as chlorine in the diet.

Use distilled water for ice mold

You have probably experienced the taste of ice when it is added to a drink. Adding ice changes the taste of the drink. If the ice is produced with distilled water, this problem will no longer exist; Because many of the impurities that are present in it cause this taste change. As a result, by using ice made from distilled water, you will have crystal ice molds without impurities that will change the taste of your drink less.

Use distilled water for milk powder

When it comes to formula, there is no better and safer water than formula. Both formula manufacturers and baby experts say that the best water to mix with formula is distilled water. The reason for this is the absence of toxic substances and pollution in this water. Distilled water devices can remove 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, harmful compounds and even uranium in water. For this reason, having a water dispenser, you can easily be sure of the health of the powdered milk that is provided to the child.

The effect of distilled water on the hair

It is interesting to know that some people, when their hair is distilled with water, their hair stands better. When hard water from taps (water that has some special ions. Usually, in purification, it is tried to remove these ions from the water) is used to wash the hair, the hair becomes heavier and causes the hair to fall. to be For those who have curly hair, the best option is to wash their hair with distilled water after the final shampooing. This makes their curls stay better. Even in some beauty salons, distilled water is used for final hair washing.

Distilled water for plants

Plants love distilled water. Because this water does not contain any chemicals, it is the best option for spraying on the leaves of plants. This water keeps the plant fresh and alive. Never spray tap water on the plant. Due to its impurities, this water leaves a trace after evaporation, and its chemicals and hardness also remain on the surface of leaves and plants. That is why it is best to spray distilled water on them to have happy and lively plants.

Distilled water for cleaning

You may no longer need to use glass cleaner. To clean the glasses, you can use a half-half solution of distilled water and vinegar and clean the glass using this product. The main reason for stains on the glass is the impurities in the water that remain on the surface when the water evaporates. For this reason, one of the ways to remove stains from glass is to soak it with distilled water. Distilled water will not leave any stains on the glass.

Cleaning the glass of the glasses may cause them to become scratched (especially if they are contaminated by a salty substance such as sweat). The best way to clean the salt on the surface of the glass is to soak the glasses in distilled water. By doing this, the salt on the surface of the glass will slowly dissolve in the distilled water and after a few hours the glasses will be clean.

Distilled water in ironing

You have probably heard that the best water for ironing is water that has already been boiled. In fact, by boiling water, some of its impurities are removed, but some of this impurity still remains. Distilled water is the best option for ironing. If water with salts is used, these salts are deposited in the holes of the iron, which cause the holes to close over time. In fact, what happens in the iron is that the water evaporates and over time its salts are deposited inside the iron. You have probably seen that some irons seem to spit white grains on the clothes. These white grains are actually the sediments of salts in the water that have accumulated over time and are now coming out and dirtying the clothes! If you have a water distiller at home, be sure to fill it with water from the water distiller to fill the iron.

Distilled water for humidifiers

Humidifiers are devices that have water inside them, and these devices adjust the humidity of the environment by evaporating this water. One of the important problems that these devices have is that, like kettles and irons, they suffer from sedimentation (or as we Iranians say, “limestone accumulation”). Using distilled water in humidifiers prevents this problem.

Use of pure water for CPAP devices

CPAP devices are a type of breathing device that is used for some patients, especially during the night. In these devices, the only reason for using pure and clean water is not their sedimentation and the longevity of the device. Rather, in these devices, the sterility of the water and the absence of any contamination are also very important.

Distilled water for pets

Like many of us, pets are exposed to various diseases and pollution and are vulnerable to these things. Many veterinary clinics use distilled water for animals. The problem of causing disease or sedimentation is much greater in smaller animals. Dogs, cats or birds may prefer distilled water. Also, this water is better for animals with stomach problems.
