### 1. **Disinfect Cutting Boards**
Cutting boards are prone to bacteria, especially when they come into contact with raw meat. Spray hydrogen peroxide on the surface, let it sit for a minute, and then wipe it off. It effectively kills germs without leaving any harmful residue.
### 2. **Remove Stains from Fabrics**
Hydrogen peroxide can help eliminate stubborn stains on clothing, upholstery, and carpets. For fabric stains, apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the stain, let it bubble, then blot with a clean cloth. Always test it on a hidden area first to ensure the fabric won’t bleach.
### 3. **Clean and Disinfect the Bathroom**
It’s a powerful disinfectant for bathrooms. Use hydrogen peroxide to clean and disinfect surfaces like countertops, sinks, and toilets. It’s great for killing germs and eliminating soap scum in the shower. Just spray it directly on the surface and wipe clean.
### 4. **Whiten Grout**
Over time, grout between tiles can become discolored and grimy. Mix hydrogen peroxide with baking soda to create a paste and apply it to the grout. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with a toothbrush for sparkling clean grout.
### 5. **Sanitize Toothbrushes**
Your toothbrush is a breeding ground for bacteria. To disinfect it, soak your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide for about 5-10 minutes. This will help eliminate germs and keep your toothbrush fresh and clean.
### 6. **Brighten Laundry**
Hydrogen peroxide can work wonders as a laundry booster. Add 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide to your wash load to whiten whites and brighten colors. It also helps to remove blood, wine, and other stubborn stains.
7. **Clean and Deodorize Trash Cans**
Trash cans often develop unpleasant odors due to the accumulation of food residue. Pour hydrogen peroxide into your trash can, let it sit for a few minutes, and scrub with a brush. It will disinfect the can and leave it smelling fresh.
