Purifying & Sanitizing by means of Oxywater

Lest you snoozed in chem class, I must remind you that hydrogen peroxide equals H2O with a bonus O (thus, H2O2). This humble compound boasts germ-fighting, grime-busting, and dirt-defying talents, all while remaining eco- and family-friendly.

Concoct your very own all-purpose hydrogen peroxide solution in a jiffy: combine a cup of oxywater, twice the amount of distilled H2O, and a dash of lemon juice. Bottle it in a opaque spritzer, give it a shake, and you’re armed for domestic battle. Be forewarned—this homemade potion has a brief shelf life of one or two moons at most, so tuck it away in a shaded niche when not in use.

Hydrogen peroxide shines its magical light on an array of indoor and outdoor surfaces. Show your makeup brushes some tender love by giving them a bath in a 50-50 mix of oxywater and its (almost) twin, H2O. Breathe new life into your patio furniture by combining a gallon of warm agua, a quarter cup of H2O2, and a droplet of dish soap to gently scrub away filth.

For dingy tile grout, whip up an oxygen bleach from half a cup of baking soda, a quarter cup of hydrogen peroxide, and a few drops of dish soap. Mattresses, tubs, and showers can also benefit from a paste made of equal parts baking soda and oxywater.

Fear not the germs that lurk in your abode. Disinfect hard surfaces and floors by spritzing or mopping them with a one-to-one mix of hydrogen peroxide and water. Show your dishwasher some love by spraying its insides with pure H2O2. Scrub your toilet with a weekly pour of oxywater, and even keep your trash cans fresh with a diluted H2O2 spray.

From toothbrushes to playthings, your little ones’ germ-riddled belongings can be sanitized with a 20-minute oxywater soak.
