Believe it or not that little brown bottle that’s been sitting in your cupboard, just waiting for the next cut or scrape could actually be working hard for you. Hydrogen peroxide can do so many things, like clear up acne, soften calluses, remove stains, sprout seeds. However, it’s all of the things that it can clean, while still being safe for the environment that makes it truely amazing.

What You Can Clean with Peroxide

Bathroom
To disinfect the bathroom, attach a sprayer to the bottle of hydrogen peroxide, spray directly on the surface that you are disinfecting, let it sit for a few minute then rinse clean. **Do not use on stone surfaces, such as marble or granite, peroxide has a high acidity and can harm the stone.

Tile & Grout
To remove stains from tile, make a thick paste using flour and hydrogen peroxide. Apply a thick layer of the mixture to the stain, cover with plastic wrap and let it sit over night. Rinse clean.

To whiten grout, spray a generous amount of hydrogen peroxide on grout that is completely dry. Let the peroxide do its magic for 1-2 hours, then scrub with an old toothbrush and some warm, soapy water.

      I love that peroxide is so cheap and that it can do so many wonderful things. I don’t know what I ever did without it.

    This is amazing! We are out of peroxide now, but I want to get some. Are you using it straight or mixed with water in these uses?

    I agree. I use peroxide and also mix it 50/50 with rubbing alcohol and dilute with water, This makes a nice all purpose cleaner. I haven’t tried it on mirrors yet, but I will.

    Robin, this caught my eye at the Sew It Cook It Craft It linkup because I’ve been thinking about seeing what I could do with peroxide. Just Pinned it for future reference.

    Oh Im so excited to find another awesome natural cleaner. I used straight bleach last march and accidentally inhaled it when I was cleaning our basement bathroom with no ventilation. I immediately started coughing and the cough lasted about 2 months. Since then I have been so sensitive getting every respiratory problem ie: asthma, sever allergies, coughs from allergies, tightness in my chest…ugh!!! Doctors say chemical burns from inhalation is no joke. OMG!!! It is so amazing how important natural cleaners are. I have not gone back to bleach since. I use vinegar solutions with essential oils…..and NOW I am excited to try hydrogen peroxide. Thanks for your post!

    I’m so excited about this lol. I just cleaned my mirrors with it and they’ve never looked better. Though a lot of blogs say to dilute it 1:1 with water. Do I need to? Or can I just use it as is?

      I’ve never diluted it, I use it full strength.
