Don’t call me crazy just yet (lol). Hear me out, because cleaning your home doesn’t have to involve a cabinet full of various products. A lot of these advertised products you use or see in stores have really harsh chemicals or strong scents that just leave you with irritated skin and a headache. Trust me I get it, I still have a few of my favorite cleaning products under my sink and I always keep some bleach around. But my point here is you can also achieve a sparkling clean house with one ingredient! So let’s talk about it.. Hydrogen Peroxide, powerful yet gentle, this solution can tackle everything from disinfecting to removing stains. Here you can explore the many simple ways to clean with one ingredient.
- Kitchens– Cleaning with one ingredient is budget friendly as well as effective and safe. Putting Hydrogen Peroxide in a spray bottle will get the job done with ease. You can get your entire kitchen clean and sanitized, simply spray on the area you want to clean, leave for about 10 minutes and wipe with clean cloth. This includes refrigerators, countertops, stovetops, trash cans and sinks. Extra tip: washing you fruits and veggies with hydrogen peroxide rid your produce for all the unseen things we don’t want in the body.
- Bathrooms– Simplify your cleaning routine with this one ingredient. Grab a spray bottle, fill with Hydrogen Peroxide and let’s clean the bathroom. You can spray all over and around the toilet, don’t be scared especially if you have boys in the house, this will rid your bathroom of those pestering odors too! Spray any mold and mildew or soap scum and leave for a few minutes before scrubbing. Also wipe down counters and cabinets.
- Laundry– If you have young children or just have a bothersome stain and odor or maybe you just want the whitest whites possible, this one ingredient tip is good for you. Hydrogen Peroxide will remove all those hard to get stains by applying to the spot you want treated (clothes or carpets) and leave on before washing. Also adding a cup to your whites will freshen those up and is great for getting rid of any nasty odors.
- Deodorizing– Want to get rid of the smelly odors around the house. Do you have teenage kids, smelly husband or pets? Hydrogen Peroxide can help eliminate most odors around your home. Spray in areas like fridge, trash cans, shoes, dog beds and trash cans and leave to air dry.
- Disinfecting Surfaces– Hydrogen Peroxide is the one ingredient that can do it all without the harsh chemicals. Hydrogen Peroxide is an excellent disinfectant you can use a 3% solution to clean kitchen counters, bathrooms, toys and other high-touch areas. Simply spray it on a surface, leave for a few minutes and wipe with a clean cloth.
Always remember to store Hydrogen Peroxide in a cool, dark place as it can degrade when exposed to light. Also avoid mixing with vinegar or other cleaning agents to prevent harmful reactions.
