The goal of cleaning and disinfecting surfaces is to create a safe environment, eliminating the spread of bacteria, viruses and spores.
AS A DISINFECTANT:
Hydrogen peroxide is a great way to disinfect your home. Use it to clean your cleaning supplies like those dirty dish scrubbers, rags, sponges, and toilet brushes (they don’t clean themselves). It’s also useful for cleaning items in sickrooms such as thermometers and bedpans.
All you need to do is spray some hydrogen peroxide directly on the items, let it bubble up, and repeat. If something is really dirty, it can be soaked.
IN THE BATHROOM:
Another hydrogen peroxide use is for cleaning hygiene items like toothbrushes and loofahs as well as other kinds of sponges. It can also be used to disinfect facial cleansing devices and shaving brushes.
TO WHITEN GROUT:
Are your grout lines looking dingy? Dip an old toothbrush into hydrogen peroxide and go to town. They will whiten right up.
DEEP CLEANING:
Hydrogen peroxide delivers a deep clean. Upon contact with bacterial and fungal build up, the product produces a foaming reaction. If there is a lot of build up present, you can see particles that have been lifted by the cleaning action. You may need to use a scrubbing brush to shift stubborn build up, then wipe it away with a damp cloth.
