Please note that you should always be careful when handling hydrogen peroxide. Even with weak solutions containing 3-10 percent, you should definitely avoid eye contact. For high-percentage solutions, wear the best protective clothing, goggles and gloves. It should only be used diluted on your skin. It is best to always follow the instructions on the packaging.
Remove stains
Whether deodorant stains, red wine stains or even blood spots – you can get rid of them all with the help of hydrogen peroxide. For deodorant stains, use a mixture of two-thirds hydrogen peroxide and one-third dish soap, leave on for an hour, and then wash off with cold water. For red wine, use a 1:1 mixing ratio and after a few minutes, wipe with a cloth before wiping with warm water. If it is a blood stain, pure hydrogen peroxide should be used. You may have to repeat the procedure once or twice.
Clean washing machine
Hydrogen peroxide not only has a bleaching effect, but also a disinfecting one. This will get your washing machine sparkling clean and free of germs again. The following mixture has proven to be best here:
- 1 liter of water
- 20 ml lemon juice
- 80 ml hydrogen peroxide
Mix it all together, put it in a spray bottle and spray the inside of your washing machine with it. You can also use it to clean the detergent compartment and the rubber seal. Let it act for a while before you wash it off with clear water
Hydrogen peroxide at home
Your food should always be stored in a refrigerator that is as clean as possible. Next time you wipe it down, spray the areas with some hydrogen peroxide first. This effectively removes both unpleasant odors and bacteria.
- Remove bacteria from vegetables
You can also get your vegetables bacteria-free by using hydrogen peroxide. Add a squirt of the substance to a spray bottle filled with water and treat the vegetables before rinsing thoroughly with cold water about five minutes later.
Even if they are not obviously visible to the human eye – germs and bacteria spread very quickly on the worktops in your kitchen. Spray the surfaces regularly with hydrogen peroxide, let the substance sit for about two minutes and then wipe everything off.
In the bathroom in particular, there are often areas affected by mold despite diligent airing. Hydrogen peroxide can also be used effectively here. Simply apply it to the appropriate areas, wash it off again and you have a mold-free bathroom again.
