If you don’t have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in you’re kitchen, you should. Peroxide can do many wonderful things but what it does in the kitchen will surprise you.

Peroxide is used as an antibacterial agent so it only makes sense that it would work well for home cleaning. There are a few different types of hydrogen peroxide, the antibacterial (3%), the bleaching (6-10%) and the food grade (35%). It’s important to use the correct type of peroxide, especially when it comes to using it on food.
USING PEROXIDE IN THE KITCHEN

Is using peroxide on cutting boards safe?
It is safe! I use it all of the time on my cutting boards, I also use it to rinse my mouth (as directed by my dentist). Peroxide is used in many brands of toothpaste as well.
I switched from using rubbing alcohol, works better sponges and dish rags incl.
Thanks for sharing! I didn’t even know I could use peroxide in the kitchen. Refrigerator, cutting boards, sponges, I’ll put everything in order today.
Make sure you use the food grade peroxide!

This is so interesting! I rarely use peroxide at all, but now I want to take a look at how it can play into my cleaning routine. I especially like the tip about the cutting boards. Thank you for sharing!
I love peroxide, it’s cheap and can do so many amazing things!
I learned a lot from this post. I have always thought of peroxide in medical terms but now I will consider it for cleaning as well. Thanks for sharing. #HomeMattersParty
I love learning new things, especially when they save me money~
