19 Awesome Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide




With apple cider vinegar being the latest focus in the world of natural DIY remedies, it seems that hydrogen peroxide has been all but forgotten. 


This is a sad mistake. Hydrogen peroxide has so many unknown and underappreciated uses around the home that could be saving you money, time and effort. 


Here are a few more things you might not know about hydrogen peroxide:


-It is a natural substance found in all living beings.


-It is a liquid comprised of nothing more than oxygen and water. 


-The oxidation potential of the substance works to treat diseases, fight infection and neutralize germs.


-Hydrogen peroxide is a natural disinfectant and the “world’s safest sanitizer.”


Interested in learning more? Take a look at all the ways hydrogen peroxide can be used in your home today:











1. Soak vegetables and fruit to remove bacteria


Insider’s Tip: produce that is hyper-absorbent, like mushrooms, shouldn’t be submerged in any form of liquid. Rather, use a cloth damp with the hydrogen peroxide and water solution above to gently wipe the dirt away.We all know a simple rinse under running tap water doesn’t do much to actually clean our vegetables. So, swap out the running rinse for a hydrogen peroxide soak. Make your own by adding just 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide to a sink full of cold water. 











2. Give your dishwasher (or water) a boost


Adding even two ounces of hydrogen peroxide to your dishwasher detergent provides a super-sanitizing boost–to your dishes and dishwasher alike. 




3. Disinfect wounds in a pinch


This is probably what you remember hydrogen peroxide most being used for when you were a child. Ouch! Now, notice I put “in a pinch” in the heading above. I did that specifically because evidence has since suggested using hydrogen peroxide is not the best idea for the regular care of wounds. Thus, this method should now only be used in an emergency kit, when no other disinfecting agents–like mild, natural soap–are available. 




4. Whiten clothes without bleach


Adding one cup of hydrogen peroxide to your wash is a great way to naturally boost whites, remove stains and clean your machine at the same time.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
