How do you use the word gargle in a sentence?

How are mouthwashes different from gargles?

Not a lot at all. Most mouthwashes can be used as gargles as most have a disinfectant or antibacterial solution, But some gargles are medicated and meant just to be gargled and not to be used as a mouthwash. I would say that Listerine would be both a mouthwash and a gargle, but Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be a gargle only.
