✅ MEDICAL PURPOSES: Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic used on the skin to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It may also be used as a mouth rinse to help remove mucus or to relieve minor mouth irritation (e.g., due to canker/cold sores, gingivitis). This product works by releasing oxygen when it is applied to the affected area. The release of oxygen causes foaming, which helps to remove dead skin and clean the area. This product should not be used to treat deep wounds.

✅ HOME PURPOSES: Eliminate mold from the bathroom and any other areas of your home, by treating it with full-strength hydrogen peroxide. Just apply it with a rag or a spray bottle, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, come back and clean the area. Hydrogen peroxide will kill mold, but it won't eliminate mold stains. You'll need to do a deep cleaning afterward to make that happen.

✅ STORAGE: Hydrogen peroxide loses its oomph quickly when it's exposed to air or sunlight, so keep it in the brown bottle it came in until you're ready to use it. Many homemade cleaners can be made in advance, but unfortunately, that doesn't apply to cleaners made with hydrogen peroxide. Do not mix hydrogen peroxide with vinegar. While it can be fun to create your own homemade cleaners, combining the two will form peracetic acid, which could irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
