I received this in an e-mail and although I knew of many of these uses, some I never thought of. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I was intrigued!
CLOROX VERSUS PEROXIDE
Clorox vs Peroxide VERY interesting and inexpensive. This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a doctor’s wife), and I want to share it with you. She was over recently for coffee and smelled the bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops. This is what she told me. ‘I would like to tell you of the benefits of that Plain little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. What does bleach cost?
My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, And most doctors don’t tell you about peroxide. Have you Ever smelled bleach in a doctor’s office? NO!!!
Why? because it smells, and it is not healthy! Ask the nurses who work in the doctor’s offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better!
Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40’s? It’s chlorine, folks!
Peroxide was invented during WWI in the 20’s. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals.
Please think about this:
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in
3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and Water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without Harming your septic system like bleach or most other Disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually, so it’s not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help get rid of boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary. I know this works! The blood just bubbles out of the material like magic! I rinse it, do it again, rinse, repeat until the spot is nearly clear. Then put soap on directly and wash with rest of clothes!
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.
14. Another place it’s great is in the bathroom, if someone has been careless & has wet on the floor around the toilet & it’s begun to smell of urine. Just put some peroxide in a spray bottle & spray. In the blink of any eye all the smell will be gone & the bacteria eliminated!
I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I’m glad there’s a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner! ‘ This information really woke me up. I hope you gain something from it, too.
Pass it on! Clorox vs peroxide VERY interesting and inexpensive
bttt
Thanks.
It’s also good for after-swim drops for the ears, dries out the water and kills bacteria.
I sometimes sanitize drinking water by using a few drops of Clorox. Kills all but the worst baddies (giardia and crypto) and breaks down into it’s key components in a short time.
“Can Clorox Bleach be used to disinfect water?
Yes. When boiling off water for 1 minute is not possible in an emergency situation, you can disinfect your drinking water with Clorox® Regular-Bleach as follows:
1. Remove suspended particles by filtering or letting particles settle to the bottom.
2. Pour off clear water into a clean container.
3. Add 8 drops of Clorox® Regular-Bleach (not scented or Clorox® Plus® bleaches) to one gallon of water (2 drops to 1 quart). For cloudy water, use 16 drops per gallon of water (4 drops to 1 quart).
4. Allow the treated water to stand for 30 minutes. Water should have a slight bleach odor. If not, repeat and wait another 15 minutes. The treated water can then be made palatable by pouring it between clean containers several times.”

I’ve done this quite a few times and suffered no ill effects.
The hysteria about chlorine bleach is highly overstated. And saying it is not healthy is just outright WRONG. Think of the lives that have been saved because cooking utensils, appliances, floors, counters, water, and everything else has been made sterile with bleach, quickly and easily.
How does Peroxide work on cat urine smell?
Been doing that for 20+ yrs.
I learned from another guy about the use of hydrogen peroxide when long term dry camping (water for drinking only) and BO gets really rank. Spray a little peroxide beneath armpits and in crotch, let set for a few seconds, then wipe those areas with a damp cloth or tissue. voilà, BO is gone.
Actually, since you dilute Clorox quite significantly, peroxide is much more expensive at actual use dilution.
FTM, Clorox costs $2/gallon, or .25/pint, while peroxide usually costs about $1/pint.
Clorox 2 and similar products (sodium perborate and percarbonate, etc.) essentially work by creating peroxide chemically.
BTW, more is NOT more when dealing with peroxide. Stronger dilutions are available, but get much above 7% and the stuff becomes amazingly dangerous. Explosions, violent chemical reactions, etc.

Thank you! I use it daily for my mouth and teeth and clothes. But I have to get a dark color spray bottle as the regular clear ones will allow light in and diffuse the hydorgen’s good effects.
