Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a weak, nearly colorless acid which is basically made up of water and oxygen. Manufacturers have used this acid to bleach paper products, produce rocket fuel and propel submarines through the water. Hydrogen Peroxide is so versatile that it can also be used for many tasks in your home which is usually 3% H2O2 and 97% water (H2O).

1. Take one capful and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. This also acts as a homemade teeth whitener kit at an affordable cost. If you have a terrible toothache and can not 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.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup peroxide to keep them free of germs. Now remember the peroxide will loose potency once exposed to the air or stored in a clear bottle.

3. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria. It can also be used to disinfect your dishwasher, refrigerator or anything in your kitchen for the most part.

4. Kill Fingernail and Toenail Fungus. Soak your fingernails or toenails in a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide every day and it will kill harmful fungus.

5. Put two capfuls into a douche to prevent yeast infections. This has been said to help out reduce the number of yeast infections over time.

6. 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.

7. You can put drops in the ear and nose to end colds, flu, and infections. For example, tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.

8. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.

9. 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 directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

10. Use peroxide to clean mirrors which leaves no streaks – and cheaper!

11. Use as a vegetable wash or soak to kill bacteria and neutralize chemicals. Use it on trees and plants as a natural fungicide, insecticide, and as a weed killer

Note: You want to mix only what you’ll use, otherwise the Peroxide becomes useless. Peroxide needs to be stored in its original brown bottle to keep its strength.
