Hydrogen peroxide is one item most people keep in their bathroom medicine cabinet. This is because this mainstay in most homes is a great first aid solution for many issues. But did you know there’s more uses for it than just to treat cuts and burns? Here are some hydrogen peroxide hacks that you’ll want to know!!
Toothbrush
Yes, you do need to clean your toothbrush regularly. Just imagine the number of germs that end up on your toothbrush. Or just imagine the number of germs that could accumulate on your toothbrush when you leave it out on your bathroom counter. Yuck!
In order to make sure your toothbrush is clean, use hydrogen peroxide on it. Just mix 1 teaspoon of peroxide in 1 cup of water and swish your toothbrush around in it before using.
Countertops
If you have an empty spray bottle, you can fill it with equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water. Use it as a cleaning product for several surfaces. You’ll be able to clean your tables and countertops with this hack.
Baking Sheets
Instead of buying new baking sheets, you can use hydrogen peroxide to give them a second shot at life.
Spread baking soda on your pans, then cover it with peroxide, then more baking soda and let sit for a few hours. Then wipe clean, if you have a few problem areas you can do it a second time to get any stubborn messes.
Grout
Make your tiles and grout look clean once again with the help of hydrogen peroxide. All you need to do is be sure that the area is dry before mixing up a paste of one part peroxide to two parts baking soda and applying it to your grout and tile.
Let it sit for a couple of hours, then scrub it with a toothbrush and soapy water. Once dried, your tiles and grout should look new.
Toilet Bowl
You can also use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the toilet bowl. Pour in half a cup of peroxide and let it sit for twenty minutes. Then scrub the area with an old toothbrush and flush. You’ll have a sparkling clean and disinfected bowl.
Mold
Whenever you spot mold, use hydrogen peroxide to kill it. Apply directly onto the surface and wipe it clean. This will help get rid of different types of mold and will make sure your surfaces are clean and sanitized.
Cutting Board
Germs readily congregate on your cutting board. To make sure that germs stay away from your boards, rinse after every use and spray with peroxide.
