7 Cool Ways to Use Hydrogen Peroxide!

you usually find hydrogen peroxide in the first-aid aisle or in your first-aid kit at home but there are so many extra uses for hydrogen peroxide aside from just taking care of wounds and scrapes and burns so stick around and I'll show you seven cool ways you can use hydrogen peroxide and just a quick reminder if you haven't done so already to subscribe to the clean my space channel and like this video if you have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in your first-aid kit so what's the deal with hydrogen peroxide and why does it work so well I'm glad you asked hydrogen peroxide you normally find in your first-aid kit because it's really great at cleaning your wound so you put a little bit on the wound it helps bubble up any of that bacteria or dirt right to the surface and it really keeps things clean helping you not get an infection so think about that science and kind of apply it to cleaning it disinfects as well but it does so many other things too now something to know about hydrogen peroxide it remains in this brown bottle at all times until just before you're going to use it when it's in this brown bottle its protected and the minute that it's exposed to light like the rest of us it becomes unstable not like the rest of us so you want to make sure that it's always locked up until you actually need it let's start things off in the application that most of you guys know about already hydrogen peroxide as a stain remover it's a great alternative to bleach except it's not chlorine bleach and you use it for first aid so I feel a lot better about using hydrogen peroxide the way I like to use hydrogen peroxide is in a solution of two parts hydrogen peroxide and then one part dish soap mix that all together blot up your stain first apply this solution to your stain let it sit for about 5-10 minutes and then launder it as usual this solution really helps NAB those stains and you can also use it on carpet stains or upholstery stains I don't know about you but I'm really not into ingesting pesticides thank you very much so a great way to deal with that is to make a solution you can use one liter or one quart of water they're about the same two that you're going to add a cup hydrogen peroxide there's your solution dump in your produce that you want to wash leave it there for a few minutes give it a good rinse give it the old patent dry and that way your produce will be ready for you to eat no bacteria and no pesticides we get asked a lot about how to clean grout and recently we had a little bit of a garbage spill at the house and some garbage juice got into a grout line and there was a really quick solution for that using hydrogen peroxide so I will share that with you guys all you need to do is mix two parts baking soda to 1 part hydrogen peroxide get out a cleaning toothbrush give it a good stir apply that paste to the affected grout line leave it for a few minutes give it a good scrub with that cleaning toothbrush rinse really really well because the baking soda is going to leave a fine gritty kind of feel behind so you got to get rid of that but once that's gone your grout is gonna look amazing a lot of people use bleach to clean their toilet bowls and here's a quick distinction bleach doesn't actually clean it disinfects and it can help whiten stains well if you don't want to use bleach you can sub in hydrogen peroxide all you need to do is pour about a cup to a half cup whatever you got lying around in the toilet bowl leave it there for a couple of hours then get your toilet bowl brush give it a really good swish in that bowl get under the rim go nuts on the toilet bowl then give it a flush and what that will do is help break down stains and get rid of any lingering bacteria hydrogen peroxide is incredible in the laundry room the same way you would use bleach you can use hydrogen peroxide but frankly I'd argue that hydrogen peroxide performs even better not only does it white and white but new moms who asked me all the time how to deal with baby stains or cloth diaper stains here's all you have to do take a cup of hydrogen peroxide add it to the bleach compartment in your machine or just add it to your wash as you normally would with bleach let your machine do its thing hydrogen peroxide has this amazing ability especially with protein stains to break the bond between the dirt and the material and that way your stain will loosen up it'll be able to wash out much easier and you will have better-looking laundry if you've ever looked at your toothbrush and got in a case of the loo then this is what you need to do fill a cup halfway with hydrogen peroxide and take your toothbrush and dunk it in there leave it for about 30 minutes or so the hydrogen peroxide will help get rid of any bacteria on your toothbrush making it smell better if you ever sniff your toothbrush just take my word on it it will smell better and it will also be free of bacteria which will help keep you healthier especially with folding folding flipfold inclu season coming up that would be cold and flu season coming up if you're looking for a quick easy disinfectant in your kitchen look no further than the friendly brown bottle of hydrogen peroxide now quick note here you want to make sure that you test it in a hidden area on your kitchen surface before you actually use it in a wider spread application just to make sure you don't get any weird discoloration after all hydrogen peroxide does technically have the ability to bleach things so if you want to use it in a kitchen to disinfect an area say you've got some meat on the counter you want to give it a good cleaning afterward here's what you need to do take some hydrogen peroxide and spray it on to the surface or you can just sort of sprinkle it out from the bottle on the surface leave it for about 10 minutes that will give the hydrogen peroxide the ability to do its thing then you want to wipe the surface clean and then if you want to you can give it a good final rinse and the surface will be clean and mostly bacteria free one of my favorite things about doing all of this clean my space stuff is that I get to share with you guys all of the great
