Lighten Your Hair

Just as you can whiten your nails with hydrogen peroxide, you can also lighten your hair. Test it out with a few strands of hair first, though, to make sure you like it. It wouldn’t be fun to die your entire head, only to find out you hate the result! Make sure your hair is damp. Grab a new toothbrush and dip it into hydrogen peroxide. Coat the strands of hair you want to color, wait 15 minutes, and rinse it with cold water. If you like how it looks, continue with the rest of your hair (Style Craze).

Get Rid Of Yellow Stains

Hydrogen peroxide can get rid of body odor, but it can also get rid of yellow armpit stains. If you have a yellow tinge on your tablecloths or lace curtains, hydrogen peroxide will also remove those stains. There’s nothing worse than having a beautiful home or a white shirt with yellow stains. In a bin, pour enough hydrogen peroxide inside that it covers the item. Soak it for at least one hour before rinsing it in cold water and letting it air dry (Wear Numi).

Get Rid Of Dust Mites

Dust mites collect in your mattress. It’s important to air your mattress every single day to get rid of them. Using a combination of essential oils and hydrogen peroxide, you can clean your mattress from dust mites, leave a pleasant smell, and have clean sheets. Simply spray the surface of your mattress and wait for it to dry. Once it’s dry, add clean sheets. We promise you’ll have a great sleep! (The Spruce).

Disinfect Mouth Guards

If your child wears a retainer or mouth guard, it’s important to stay on top of their cleanliness. Our mouths are homes to tons of bacteria, which means that bacteria gets stuck to your child’s retainer. Soak the retainer or mouthguard in hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes to sanitize it. When you’re finished, clean it with water and let it air dry (Ever Smile White).

Remove Skunk Odor

If your pet is the victim of a skunk attack, don’t worry! You don’t have to keep them outside and away from your home forever. Hydrogen peroxide does a great job of removing skunk odor. Mix peroxide, baking soda, and hand soar, and apply the solution to your animal’s fur. They might not want to stay still, but you must rub it in. Let it sit for five minutes and then repeat the process if the smell is not completely gone (Wildlife).
