Why do we say we are 'cleaning' our teeth, but 'washing' our hair?

Question

whats the difference???

Answer 1

because teeth are not washed up with a lot of water.but maybe while gargling.....this question is kinda tough but the answering machine knows all.so........hmmmmmmm.............maybe because washing is a long process which takes long but cleaning the teeth is a short process.sorry,the answering machine really doesn't know.what about saying cleaning our hair instead?

Answer 2

I think it's because we don't have soap and bubbles when we clean our teeth.

Answer 3

It's really about the quantity of water used. Washing is when you immerse something and get it soaked, submerged, sprayed and/or completely wet. Cleaning is when you take a brush or other implement to the item to be cleaned.

You clean the inside of a car, for example, with a vacuum cleaner, and wash the outside of it with a hose and a lot of water.

Hope this helps.
