How To Use Hydrogen Peroxide To Clean Almost Everything
Ever wonder what people do with hydrogen peroxide?
Besides bleach out their hair, I mean.
Well, it is often included in first aid kits, and when you buy it at the store, it can usually be found near the rubbing alcohol and band-aids.
Chemically speaking, it is H2O2, just slightly different from water, which is H2O.
Hydrogen peroxide will happily give up that extra O (oxygen), and as a result, many wonderful things can happen!
