Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaning
We have recently started selling Hydrogen Peroxide and as with all our products we like to try them out. At the weekend I cleaned my bathroom with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Household Cleaner. When you open the bottle it is a very pale blue liquid but what you notice most of all is that there is no smell. Unlike chlorine based bleach hydrogen peroxide is completely smell free. Another benefit is that I only used one product for cleaning tiles, glass, bathroom fittings and the toilet. It cut down the cleaning products used from 3 to 1.
Other uses of Hydrogen Peroxide in your bathroom include sprucing up your grout — simply mix bicarbonate of soda with hydrogen peroxide creating a paste and apply with a toothbrush for 10-15 minutes then rinse off. Hydrogen Peroxide is great for cleaning soap scum and mildew from your shower curtain too.
Hydrogen Peroxide is also great for cleaning mirrors and windows around the home — simply spray on and wipe off with a paper towel for a streak free finish.
Through out the home there as so many more uses for 3% hydrogen peroxide. We have included a few below.
