40 Household Hacks With Hydrogen Peroxide

Creating a streak-free glass cleaner with hydrogen peroxide is quick and easy. Mix equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle, and you have a powerful solution for cleaning windows, mirrors, and glass surfaces. Spray the mixture onto the glass, wipe it down with a lint-free cloth or paper towel, and be amazed by the crystal-clear results.

Mold and Mildew Remover:

Mold and mildew can be persistent problems, especially in damp areas like bathrooms. Hydrogen peroxide effectively eliminates mold and mildew spores and prevents their growth. Simply spray hydrogen peroxide onto the affected areas, allowing it to sit for about 10 minutes. Then, scrub the surface with a brush and rinse thoroughly. Remember to wear gloves and ensure proper ventilation when dealing with mold and mildew.

Cutting Board Sanitizer:

Keeping cutting boards clean and germ-free is essential for food safety. Hydrogen peroxide provides a natural and effective way to sanitize cutting boards. Spray hydrogen peroxide directly onto the surface of the cutting board, allowing it to sit for a few minutes. Then, rinse the board thoroughly with water, and it will be ready for use, and free from bacteria and odors.

Carpet Stain Remover:

Accidental spills and stains on carpets are inevitable. Fortunately, hydrogen peroxide can help you tackle them with ease. Begin by blotting the stain to remove any excess liquid. Then, spray hydrogen peroxide directly onto the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes. Gently blot the stain with a clean cloth, repeating the process if necessary, until the stain is lifted. Finally, rinse the area with water and blot it dry.

Oven Cleaner:

Ovens can accumulate grease and grime over time, making them a challenging area to clean. Hydrogen peroxide simplifies the process by loosening stubborn stains and cutting through grease. Start by removing loose debris from the oven. Then, spray hydrogen peroxide onto the interior surfaces, focusing on the particularly soiled areas. Let it sit for a while, allowing it to break down the stains. Finally, wipe the oven clean using a damp cloth or sponge.

Laundry Brightener:

Hydrogen peroxide can brighten up your laundry, especially whites that have lost their luster or have stubborn stains. Add half a cup of hydrogen peroxide to your laundry load along with your regular detergent. The hydrogen peroxide will work to remove stains and brighten fabrics. It can also help freshen up musty towels and clothes. Remember to check garment labels for any restrictions before using hydrogen peroxide in the laundry.

Dishwasher Cleaner:

Just like any other appliance, dishwashers can develop odors and stains over time. To keep your dishwasher clean and fresh, pour a cup of hydrogen peroxide into the empty dishwasher and run a cycle. This will help eliminate odors and remove any residue or stains from the dishwasher’s interior.

Vegetable Wash:

Fruits and vegetables can harbor dirt, bacteria, and pesticide residues, even after a quick rinse with water. Creating a hydrogen peroxide wash can effectively remove these contaminants. Dilute hydrogen peroxide with water, using equal parts of each, and soak your fruits and vegetables in the solution for a few minutes. Rinse them thoroughly with water afterward to remove any residual hydrogen peroxide.
