Hydrogen-Peroxide-Disinfectant
Anti-Bacterial Household Cleaner



Hydrogen-peroxide-disinfectant can be used as an antiseptic-spray on kitchen bacteria. It's for more than just cuts, and makes a great anti-fungal-solution for your skin too.



Long known for the antiseptic properties, it can be made use of in more ways around the home.

For our purposes, we are referring to the 3% peroxide solution in the brown plastic bottle we buy in the grocery or drug-store.

The highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide can give off flammable vapors, resulting in some very dangerous situations, such as ignition, threat of explosion, and even cause some severe pulmonary irritations for people. These risks can result when hydrogen peroxide is pure or even diluted.

Even the weaker strength solutions can bother your eyes, skin and mucous membranes. It's not a good idea to swallow it either.

The 3% or less solutions can bleach a piece of clothing to a pinky color tone. For that reason, be careful it doesn't splash onto other surfaces and use an old rag when using it.


Home Remedies Include Many Uses

If you are skeptical about hydrogen peroxide and its' medicinal properties, you should consult your physician first before using.
