Every knows that hydrogen peroxide can be used as an antiseptic to treat wounds, but hydrogen peroxide can be used for more than just wound care.\u00a0 Here is a brief list of other ways you can use this cheap, versatile, and safe product.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oral Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

H202 (hydrogen peroxide) can be diluted with an equal amount of water and be used as a mouthwash to kill gingivitis and help with toothaches.\u00a0 A bonus is that it will help whiten your teeth.\u00a0 Don\u2019t go overboard with this, though, using it too regularly can damage tooth enamel.<\/p>\n

Laundry Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you remember the infomercials that sold cleaning products that used oxygen to lift stains?\u00a0 H2O2 works similarly.\u00a0 Just treat tough stains with it directly and wash them as usual, or add it to your load with the regular detergent for an added boost.<\/p>\n

Antifungal<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are living off grid then you are probably going to be wearing clothing more than once, maybe more than twice.\u00a0 This could lead to fungal infections in your skin such as athlete\u2019s feet, ring worm, and dandruff.\u00a0 Along with changing out your clothing more frequently, as your resources allow, H2O2 can be diluted with equal parts water and rubbed on affected areas to kill the fungus.<\/p>\n

Sprouting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping your beans, grains, or seeds from molding while sprouting them can be difficult.\u00a0 One way is to add an ounce of H2O2 to the water every day when you change it out.<\/p>\n

Shower Cleaner<\/strong><\/p>\n

When less diluted, or even straight out of the bottle if necessary, H2O2 can help kill mold in the shower than lead to health issues.\u00a0 It is much easier on the lungs of the person doing the cleaning, or those in the area, than bleach.\u00a0 If you plan on using it in a spray bottle, make sure you use one that blocks out light, or that you put in the bottle just before use, as light will break down H2O2 and decrease its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hydrogen peroxide has been around for a long time, and has proven itself.\u00a0 Keep yourself stocked up, since with so many uses you will be going through it quickly.<\/p>\n
