Peroxide is a great cleaner, disinfectant, and much more

Before doing anything on this list I highly recommend you read the following spones warning on this very 2006 internet article.

Please think about this:

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 1 minute or so, then spit it out. No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without those expensive toothpastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dish cloth, when you wipe, or spray it on the counter tops.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. To get rid of foot fungus, sprayed a 50/50 mixture of Peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day.

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of Peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will do.

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold or a plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.

9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

11. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat, if necessary.

12. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing.

It is a little brown bottle that no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner!
