Should I use mouthwash after or before using dental floss?

I always use mouthwash after I floss. I brush my teeth, floss, and then rinse with mouthwash and I leave the mouthwash in my mouth for at least a minute and half, sometimes even longer. If I was to do it any other way I would think that I was just transferring germs back into my mouth after trying to get my mouth cleaned. You’re definitely doing it the correct way!
