10 Surprising Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide You Need To Know
Number One - Treat Sinus Infections
This gentle method will
safely eliminate infections, clear up
congestion and relieve the condition.
To clear up your nasal passages, mix four
parts of water and one part food-grade
hydrogen peroxide. Put the mixture in a
nasal spray bottle and spray it into
your nose and after a moment or so, blow
it right back out.
You can even irrigate your nose using
this solution with a neti pot.
Number Two - Antiseptic Mouthwash
Bad breathe is a condition that many people suffer with.
Commercial mouthwashes only mask the
smell and dry out the mouth, making the
issue even worse. Instead, mix an equal
part of water and hydrogen peroxide, and
use it as a mouthwash. It will kill germs
that cause bad breath and gently
whiten teeth over time. If you happen
to suffer from tonsil stones, gargle
daily with a 50-50 mixture of water and
hydrogen peroxide, for at least 30
seconds.
You should notice that the stones vanish
within a week or two.
Number Three - Clear Up Acne
Pimples and clogged pores are downright embarrassing regardless of
your age. To clear up your skin, use
hydrogen peroxide mixed with water as a
facial rinse or toner. Hydrogen peroxide
has any bacterial properties and a
drying effect on the skin. It will kill
bacteria that cause acne and will also
disaffect and tighten your pores, giving
you a much clearer and younger-looking
complexion.
Number Four - Remove Ear Wax
To remove dried up ear wax,
simply soak a cotton ball with
hydrogen peroxide, then lie down on your
side and put a few drops into your ear.
You will immediately notice that the
hydrogen peroxide starts to fizzle or
bubble and it may feel ticklish or itchy.
This is the hydrogen peroxide activating,
breaking down the wax buildup. After
about five to ten minutes or when the
bubbling stops, stand up and drain your
ear, then repeat these steps with your
other ear.
Number Five - Treat Foot Fungus
Foot fungus or athlete's foot is a fungal infection
that affects the skin on the feet, this
infection can spread onto the toenails
and hands, and it is contagious. To stop
this embarrassing fungal growth, Combine
equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and
water in a dark-colored spray bottle.
Next, apply this solution to the affected
area on your feet or hands every night
until the fungus clears up.
Number Six - Disinfect Childrens Toys
Let's face it, children drool and they
tend to put just about everything in
their mouth, especially during the first
few years of their lives.
Hydrogen peroxide is a safe cleaning
alternative to use around children
compared to commercial cleaning products
that are harsh and often cause lung
irritations. By regularly disinfecting kids
toys and playing areas with hydrogen
peroxide, you'll keep germs and bacteria away.
Number Seven - Get Rid of Musty Odors

for getting that unpleasant musty odor
over time. You can get rid of these funky
odors by washing towels in a mixture of
hydrogen peroxide and plain white vinegar.
Number Eight - Whiten Laundry
Have you ever noticed some yellowing
around the collar or armpit areas of
your white shirts? Or are your favorite
whites looking more like ivory these
days? To revitalize your yellow garments,
add a cup of hydrogen peroxide to a basin
filled with water and let the fabric soak
for a good 15-30 minutes, then wash as regular.
Number Nine - All-Purpose Cleaner
Hydrogen peroxide is the safe and cheap
alternative to commercial cleaning
products.
It can be used as a standalone solution
or mixed with water.
It's great for cleaning kitchen and
bathroom surfaces, including tiles, sinks,
toilet bowls, bathtubs, and showers.
You can even whiten the grout between
your tiles by making a thick paste of
hydrogen peroxide and flower. Apply it
directly onto the grout, cover it with
plastic wrap over night and rinse it
clean in the morning.
If mold seems to be an issue, you can
spray hydrogen peroxide regularly on
areas where mold and mildew are present.
This will stop fungal growth and remove discoloration.
Number Ten - Clean Fruits and Veggies and Preserve Freshness
Commercially grown produce are heavily
sprayed with all kinds of pesticides and
fungicides. To get rid of these toxic
chemicals and to preserve freshness, soak
your fruits and vegetables in a sink
full of water and a quarter cup of
food-grade hydrogen peroxide for about
20 minutes. Rinse and dry them properly before storing.
