Hydrogen peroxide is a product that is regularly found in people’s homes. While hydrogen peroxide is primarily used as a disinfectant, there are many different ways that people can use this versatile product. Here are a few unconventional ways to use hydrogen peroxide that may surprise you.
Countertop Disinfectant
Your kitchen countertop can be a source of multiple types of microbes. Spraying hydrogen peroxide on your countertop can prevent the microbes from spreading and potentially making you sick.
Kitchen Glass Cleaner
Hydrogen peroxide can clean glass surfaces, such as mirrors and stove tops. Use a clean cloth to wipe away the dirt.
Rinse
Hydrogen peroxide is a safe choice for cleaning produce. You can soak your fruits and vegetables in hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes before rinsing the food in water.
Cutting Board
If your cutting board is not properly cleaned, it can cause some problems and the potential germ outbreak can make you sick. Use some hydrogen peroxide to clean your cutting boards and eliminate the bacteria.
Refrigerator
Your refrigerator requires constant maintenance to sustain a germ free kitchen environment. Spray the inside of your refrigerator with hydrogen peroxide. Soak the hydrogen peroxide in liquid for a few minutes before taking a clean cloth to get rid of crud and other buildup.
Pots & Pans
You can use hydrogen peroxide to get rid of that seemingly impossible to remove buildup. Mix the hydrogen peroxide with baking soda, and use the solution to get rid of the dirt and grease. You will also need a sponge and warm water.
Stain Remover
Put some hydrogen peroxide on the stain and let it soak for a few minutes. After rubbing the stain, be sure to rinse with cold water.
Tile Grout & Mold
Without proper maintenance, bathroom and kitchen tile can quickly become nasty. To clean tile grout, spray hydrogen peroxide onto the grout and let it soak. After soaking, use a brush to break up the clogged dirt. Spray hydrogen peroxide into the mold to stop the fungus from growing.
Toilet Bowl
To clean your toilet bowl, pour a half cup of hydrogen peroxide into the toilet and allow a few minutes for sitting. After that, you can simply scrub the bowl until its clean.
Plant Protector
Hydrogen peroxide can be used as an all natural fungus deterrent. Just put a few drops into your regular water spray.
Brightens Floors
Once you begin mopping your floors, add a half cup of hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of hot water. The hydrogen peroxide is safe and can effectively brighten older floors.
