Many of us have hydrogen peroxide, or H2O2, in our medicine cabinets. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound that breaks down into water and oxygen upon contact with other natural compounds. This released oxygen is what makes hydrogen peroxide a very effective cleaner with many household uses. Here are some examples:
1. Toothpaste
Stop buying expensive toothpastes that contain hydrogen peroxide, instead make your own mouthwash by mixing hydrogen peroxide and water in 1:1 ratio. This will kill all the bacteria in your mouth that can cause halitosis and will make your breath fresh. Hydrogen peroxide is safe and you can use it safely to fight plaque, gingivitis and bleeding gums.
