Keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in each room of your home to whiten teeth, clean mirrors, prevent stains and do other things.\n
Dental hygiene is one of the most effective uses for hydrogen peroxide. Though\u00a0toothbrushes\u00a0should be replaced every three months or after you have a cold, you may not always have time to run to the drugstore to buy a new one. In the meantime, soak your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide to kill the germs. One study published in\u00a0Contemporary Clinical Dentistry\u00a0found that it\u2019s far more\u00a0effective than rinsing\u00a0the toothbrush with water. It works for retainers and mouth guards, too.\n If you\u2019re looking for an alternative to expensive\u00a0fruit and vegetable\u00a0washes, spritz a little food-grade hydrogen peroxide on them instead to help\u00a0clean bacteria away. (The FDA says it\u2019s safe!) Be sure to rinse fruit and vegetables thoroughly before consuming.\n Have some funky sponges in the kitchen or bathroom? The many uses for hydrogen peroxide can also help you get rid of their dirty appearance and weird smell. It\u2019s considered one of the\u00a0safest disinfectant products\u00a0out there. Soak sponges in equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water, then rinse thoroughly. If that doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s time to toss it. After all, it ranks among everyday items\u00a0dirtier than a toilet seat.\n Most hydrogen peroxide uses involve brightening or bleaching an object, which makes sense because the\u00a0chemical compound is a kind of bleach. That means it\u2019ll do wonders on stained white fabrics. Pour some directly onto a stain and let it sit, then blot it out and rinse it in cold water. You can also use these\u00a0common items that remove blood stains\u00a0if you don\u2019t have any hydrogen peroxide on hand.\n Hydrogen peroxide\u2019s disinfecting powers aren\u2019t limited to toothbrushes and sponges. Spritz it in an empty dishwasher or\u00a0cleaned-out fridge. After letting it sit for a while, you\u2019ll be able to wipe the mess away cleanly.\n Just like with bloodstains, hydrogen peroxide can be used as a general bleach for\u00a0whites in your wash. Instead of bleach, add half a cup to your wash cycle.\n One part dishwashing liquid and two parts hydrogen peroxide applied to the sweat stain for about an hour should do the trick; scrub with baking soda if it\u2019s a particularly tough stain. Still can\u2019t get it out?\n For an antibacterial boost, add a drop or two to your dishwasher or your regular dish soap.\n If you can\u2019t put your shower curtain in the washing machine, use hydrogen peroxide to wipe it down instead. A study published in the\u00a0Journal of Infection Prevention\u00a0found that\u00a0hydrogen peroxide eliminated germs\u00a0on contaminated hospital curtains\u2014and they\u2019ve got to be grosser than the one hanging in your bathroom!\n Dust mites are almost inevitable, but they don\u2019t have to build up. Spray hydrogen peroxide on your bare mattress to rid it of any invisible critters.\n Keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in each room of your home to whiten teeth, clean mirrors, prevent stains and do other things.
