If your dog eats plenty of grapes or chocolate, you can induce vomiting safely by feeding your dog some hydrogen peroxide, which creates a mild reaction and does not cause harm. You should use 3% hydrogen peroxide because a higher concentration is toxic. Give your dog one teaspoon of H2O2 for every five pounds of body weight. The vomiting will come ten to 15 minutes after the peroxide is ingested, and can last up to 45 minutes. Follow up with the vet afterwards.

“Through daily use, makeup brushes can accumulate dead skin cells, dirt, oil, pollution, and bacteria,” explains dermatologist Dr. Debbie Palmer, co-founder of the Dermatology Associates of New York. If dirty makeup brushes aren’t cleaned properly, they can cause staph infections. Put one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide in one bowl of warm water and soak your brushes in it for ten minutes, swishing the brushes around occasionally. Then, remove the makeup brushes, rinse them using cold water, and allow them to air dry. Any remaining residue can be washed off with soap.
