Uses for Peroxide

Did you know that peroxide has many great uses? It use to just be thought of as a way to clean out cuts so they do not get infected. But if you have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide laying around the house you can do so much with it. Here are some ways to utilize that little brown bottle.

1. Use peroxide to get rid of canker sores. Place a small amount in your mouth and hold for a minute or so. Spit out and rinse with warm water. Do this a few times a day until the sore is gone. You will feel relief as soon as you do the first treatment.

2. Sanitize your toothbrush with it. Fill a Dixie cup with enough peroixde to cover your toothbrush and leave it sit for about 15 minutes. Pour out the used peroxide and rinse your toothbrush out.

3. Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide and brush your teeth with it. You can feel the oxygen bubbles really working and your teeth will get very white doing this.

4. Pour some baking soda down a drain and then add some hydrogen peroxide to it. It will bubble up and clean the drain at the same time, leaving the drain smelling fresher.

5. Get rid of mold and mildew with peroxide. Fill a spray bottle with the peroxide and then spray away. It will safely get rid of mold and mildew without harming the wall.

7. Get rid of urine smells with hydrogen peroxide. Blot the urine out of the carpet and then apply 3 percent hydrogen peroxide.

Odors will be gone.
