If you haven't already, throw out your harmful, toxic disinfectants, cleaners, bleaches and insecticides and look no further than my page for your natural cleaning recipes.
Hydrogen peroxide is the only germicidal agent composed only of water and oxygen. Like ozone, it kills disease organisms by oxidation. Hydrogen peroxide is considered the worlds safest, all natural, effective surface sanitizer. It kills micro-organisms by oxidizing them, which can be best described as a controlled burning process. When hydrogen peroxide reacts with organic material it breaks down into oxygen and water.
Next to Apple Cider Vinegar, hydrogen peroxide ranks up there as one of the best household remedies.
Besides the obvious (cleansing wounds), did you know that peroxide is one of the best remedies to dissolve ear wax? It is also used around the world to prevent the flu. Athletes also use hydrogen peroxide to build stamina. Additionally, there have been several reports that hydrogen peroxide has cured melanoma, prostate and mesothelioma (asbestos) cancer, although many more studies need to be done on this.
Please Note: Regular 3% hydrogen peroxide (bought at any drugstore for under $1) is the type of peroxide I am referring to.
Here are some ways to incorporate peroxide in to your home cleaning:
Toothbrush: Soak your toothbrush in 3% hydrogen peroxide between brushings to kill bacteria and stop the passing of sickness to family members.
Shower: Keep a spray bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the shower for spraying down the shower to kill bacteria bugs and viruses.
In the dish wash/rinse water: Add 2 ounces(or more) of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the regular washing formula to safely sanitize and eliminate the tranmission of colds and diseases.
Washing meat: I know this sounds strange but use salt and 3% hydrogen peroxide in chilled water for washing fish, chicken or other meat to kill bacteria and viruses.
Cleansing for vegetables and salad greens: No need to buy the costly vegetable cleaner in your produce aisle at the market. Just add salt in addition to 1/4 cup 3% hydrogen peroxide to a sink full of cold water. Wash vegetables thoroughly, rinse with cold water and drain. This process prolongs freshness as well.
Leftover tossed salad: Spray with a solution of 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. Drain, cover and refrigerate. Eliminates use of chemical preservatives.
To freshen kitchen: Keep a spray bottle of 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide in the kitchen. Use to wipe off counter tops and appliances. It will disinfect and give the kitchen a clean, fresh smell. Works great in the refrigerator and lunch boxes.
Humidifiers & steamers: Use 1 pint of 3% hydrogen peroxide to a gallon of water. This helps keep them clean too.
Laundry: Add 8 ounces of 3% hydrogen peroxide to your wash in place of bleaches.
Pets: For small animals (dogs and cats) use 1 ounce 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 quart water for their drinking water and bath.
House & Garden Plants: Put 1 ounce 3% hydrogen peroxide in 1-quart water. Water or mist plants with this solution.
Sprouting seeds: Add 1 ounce 3% hydrogen peroxide to one pint of water and soak the seeds overnight. Add the same amount of hydrogen peroxide each time you rinse the seeds.
Athlete's Foot: Soak feet 10-20 min. each night in 3% hydrogen peroxide until condition is in remission.
Bath: 1 cup of peroxide to a full bathtub for a detoxifying bath. Note: try not to use this after 6-7 pm, as the increased absorbed oxygen may keep you awake.
Enema: Mix up to 6 tablespoons (Maximum) 3% H2O2 to 1 quart of distilled water.
Mouthwash: On arising, rinse mouth with water, then gargle & wash mouth with 3% peroxide, swishing for 1/2 to 1 min.(Note: a dash of chlorophyll adds flavor & effectiveness.) This also helps prevent colds. One of the main whitening ingredients in over the counter teeth whitening products is hydrogen peroxide. In general, the more hydrogen peroxide, the greater the whitening power, so this will be an added bonus to gargling with it. When I had dental surgery my dentist could not believe how fast my mouth had healed!
Nasal Spray: 1 tablespoon of 3% peroxide added to 1 cup of pure water. Spray into nasal passages to relieve congestion.
