Hydrogen Peroxide is made of 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms, and it has very strong oxidative properties so you can use it for disinfecting stuff, but you can also use it for something else.
Here are 24 ways to use hydrogen peroxide in your home.
1. Bath – You can add hydrogen peroxide to your bath and it will get rid of all the chemicals and toxins from the skin and body. Just put about one liter of 3% hydrogen peroxide into a bathtub and soak for half an hour.
2. Remove Ear Wax – If the ear wax sealed the ear canals in your ear, use some hydrogen solution to unclog it. Put a few drops into the ear canal and if you feel a crackling sensation, that means cerumen is dissolving.
3. Disinfection of Wounds – If you cut yourself, you can use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect that place. Use 3% solution to clean the wound. It will make a foam that will flush away all the dirt from the wound.
4. Fungal Infection of the Feet – Make a hydrogen peroxide solution (ratio of 50:50) and soak your feet every night before bed. Your feet should be dry all the time because these infections can come back.
