Unexpected Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

By: Melissa Coleman Last Updated: Aug 10, 2017 This post may contain affiliate links.

I know when I think of Hydrogen Peroxide the first use that comes to my mind is for wound care and using it to clean out any bacterial infections when you are dressing cuts and scrapes. One thing you may not know is that hydrogen peroxide is composed of only water and oxygen so it can be great for loads of other uses.

Unexpected Uses for Hydrogen Peroxide

Sinus Infections: Use a tablespoon of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to 1 cup of non-chlorinated water. This solution can be used as a homemade nasal spray.

[easyazon_link identifier="B003FUN8ME" locale="US" tag="thgisli03-20"]Bleach Alternative[/easyazon_link]: Add a cup of hydrogen peroxide to your whites as a bleach alternative. Hydrogen peroxide is also great for getting out blood stains on clothes and other fabrics like carpet. Be careful with using it to remove stains on fabrics and carpets as it is a bleach.

[easyazon_link identifier="B00013TQPQ" locale="US" tag="thgisli03-20"]Mouthwash[/easyazon_link]: Hydrogen peroxide has healing properties so it works great as a mouthwash for canker sores and toothaches. Swish your mouth with one capful (up to 10 minutes) and spit out. Do not swallow the peroxide!!

[easyazon_link identifier="B00DEY0KW2" locale="US" tag="thgisli03-20"]Homemade Toothpaste[/easyazon_link]: Mix 3% hydrogen peroxide with baking soda to make a paste. Hydrogen peroxide is great for whitening.

Mold: Hydrogen peroxide is great for cleaning any mold problems.
