I remember hydrogen peroxide as something my mother would always use to clean a cut before bandaging me up as a kid, so I guess I always assumed that was it’s sole purpose. I could not have been more wrong. Hydrogen peroxide is more or less a miracle solution, able to do so much more things than I ever would have anticipated! If you’re looking for a household remedy, check hydrogen peroxide’s list of accomplishments below – you may have just found your answer.
1. Rid Your Food of Pesticides
Fill your sink with cold water and add a dash of peroxide to soak your produce in. This will make sure that no pesticide residue, or any other unnatural product, will be left on your food.
