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.
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.

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.
