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.
6. Use peroxide to sanitize the litter box. Empty out the litter box and clean with a mild soap. Rinse well and then apply the hydrogen peroxide and let sit for about an hour. Drain and let dry then refill the litter box with fresh litter.
7. Get rid of urine smells with hydrogen peroxide. Blot the urine out of the carpet and then apply 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Let it sit for several minutes, then saturate again, adding some baking soda to it. It will bubble and foam up. Allow it to dry until there is just a gritty baking soda left, then vacuum it up. Odors will be gone.
8. Soak your tired feet in the peroxide mixed with warm water. Your feet will come out feeling great and feeling great.
9. Wipe down your counters with peroxide that has been mixed with water. It has the same effects as bleach but is much healthier to breathe in .
10. Remove toxins from fruits and veggies with hydrogen peroxide. Fill the sink with cold water and then add a small amount of it to the water. Soak veggies and fruit and the toxins will come off.
Using hydrogen peroxide is much safer and healthier than using many products on the market today. If you use it to clean your carpets, please test a small area first. It only costs about 50 cents for a bottle and a bottle goes a long way.

UTI's In Cats
If you have ever had a urinary tract infection you know how painful they can be. It can be hard to go to the bathroom and you may have to strain to go. This is the same for your cat if he has a UTI. UTI's are very common in indoor male cats that have been neutered. Other signs of a UTI in a cat inlcude whinning when they are in the litter box, only going a small amount, missing the litter box, or blood in the urine. I have also found that my cat is not as playful as normal when he has a UTI.
If your cat does happen to get a Urinary tract infection, your first thought may be to take him to the vet. But if your cat gets them often you may be shelling out big bucks to get rid of the problem. Think about paying for an office visit plus the antibiotic the vet puts him on. Not to mention the time it takes to get there. Not that your cat is not worth it, it just all adds up. Your pet will thank you if you try this rememdy first. It is easy to do and cheap. Plus your beloved pet will not have to make that dreaded trip into the vet's office.
You will need to get some vitamin C tablets. You can find these at all most any pharmacy. They are fairly cheap. I bought a large bottle of 250 tablets at Wal-mart for about $6. Stock up on soft canned food as well.
Take one 500 mg tablet and cut it in half. They are pretty easy to cut with a steak knife. Then crush the half of a tablet. I use a wooden pastry former. They crush really easy as they are soft. Mix the crushed tablet with a can of soft food. I add a little bit of water to make the mixing easier. This also ensures that your cat will be getting a little extra water in his diet.
I feed my cat this twice a day. I also make sure that plenty of fresh water is available for him. Encourage him to drink as much as he can to flush out his system. This is not always easy to do so you may wish to leave a sink on if he is on the counter to encourage drinking. Or let him sit on the edge of the tub as you take a shower so he can drink. Even leaving the toliet seat up and letting him drink out of it is ok, even though I find it to be gross.
Have your cat eat the soft food diet for two weeks straight. Do not give him any dry food. And make sure that the dry food you do give him after the two weeks is up does not contain any ash. Ash may help contribute to your cats UTI.
I find that if I give my cat soft food at least once a day, this often helps him so a UTI does not recur again.
This homemade remedy has always worked for me. I see results within 2 days. If you do not see results, please take your cat to the vet for the help that he may need.
