Here are a few cleaning recipes made of hydrogen peroxide for cleaning different things around the house.

Before you start using hydrogen peroxide, here are a few important things you must know. For cleaning purposes, you need three percent hydrogen peroxide that you can get from a pharmacy. Food grade hydrogen peroxide is way stronger, which can be used too, but you wouldn’t really need that kind of concentration for cleaning. Another important thing to remember is that you must store hydrogen peroxide in dark containers only, that too in a cool, dry place. If hydrogen peroxide gets exposed to heat, it turns into water. And the most important thing, do not alter the recipes given below to add something not mentioned in the recipe. Hydrogen peroxide can react with several products like vinegar etc. which can have adverse effects.
