  12. Clean out your refrigerator
    If you haven’t deep cleaned your refrigerator in a while, chances are it probably doesn’t smell too great. Wipe down all surfaces with hydrogen peroxide to clean off dirt and stains while leaving it smelling fresh. You don’t even have to remove your fruit and vegetables – hydrogen peroxide is perfectly safe if spilled on food as it’s non-toxic.
  13. What about your fridge on the go?
    Coolers for food and drinks are a must in the summer if you’re tailgating or hitting the beach. Unfortunately, over the course of a day, week, or month, they quickly build up dirt and germs both inside and out – not exactly where you want to keep your lunch. Spray and wipe with hydrogen peroxide to freshen them up in the same way you would the refrigerator.
  14. Help fruit and vegetables last longer…
    Now, this hack is seriously important! Combine 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 8 parts water in a spray bottle and lightly coat your fresh food, it will get you an extra couple of days of freshness, helping to cut down your grocery bills too.
  15. The same trick also works for leftover salads
    Something else that tends to spoil very quickly is yesterday’s salad. Repeat the steps above and keep that salad crisp and fresh for tomorrow, or even the day after!

    Organic is expensive, so when you get home from the grocery store, soak your produce in water and 3% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes to remove dirt and any and all harmful pesticides for no extra cost.
  17. Disinfect lunchboxes
    Once a week, spray your lunch or bento box with hydrogen peroxide, leave for 10 minutes, and then wash clean.
  18. Remove carpet stains
    Stubborn upholstery stains that nothing seems to remove – we’ve all got ’em!The good news is that they can be made almost invisible with a mix of equal parts of water and hydrogen peroxide.

    Soak some paper towel in the mixture and press on the stain for 30 seconds. Dry up the excess water with some dry towel, leave the area to dry thoroughly, and then re-apply if necessary.

    You might want to patch test a small area first. Because hydrogen peroxide is a mild bleach, remember to use this on light-colored carpets only, or you could end up with some lightened patches.
