5 Things To Do with Hydrogen Peroxide

Did You Know?

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was discovered in 1818. The most common household use for it is as an antiseptic and bleaching agent.

Caution: Hydrogen peroxide is considered corrosive—even in the relatively weak 3 per cent solution sold as a household antiseptic. Never put it in or anywhere near your eyes or around your nose. And don’t ever swallow it or try to set it on fire, either.
