Wash Fruits And Vegetables

It’s important to wash fruits and vegetables because you don’t know who touched them and which pesticides they came in contact with. To make a veggie cleaner, pour a quarter of a cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide into a sink filled with cold water. Use the mixture to wash fruit and vegetables, and fresh water to rinse them well. Do not use a higher concentration as it is not food safe. Poison Control says hydrogen peroxide is not toxic, except in large quantities.

Remove Earwax Safely

A 2015 study from the journal Australian Family Physician reported that the most effective way of removing ear wax is ear irrigation, which involves a liquid softening the wax and dislodging it. Hydrogen peroxide causes the wax to bubble and weaken, so cleaning your ears with peroxide is safe. Lie on your side and put a few hydrogen peroxide drops into your upward-facing ear. Remain in your position for five minutes, and when you sit up, absorb any excess liquid with a tissue. However, make sure you consult your doctor first before trying out these home remedies.
