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.

Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine, folks! And it was used to kill our Troops. 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 counters & tables 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 5-10 minutes several times a day.
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 10 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.
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 peed 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!

I bleach everything, I'm the bleach queen! I'm going to give peroxiode a try. I hate to admit it, but I kinda like the smell of Clorox! It has to be Clorox though.... there is definately a difference. My husband is a severe asthmatic and if I use any other bleach than Clorox, he can't breath at all. Maybe kicking the bleach habit all together will help him breath easier. Thanks Karen!

My dd was just telling me they were talking about htis in science. She also told me that is has to be kept in a dark colored bottle or it will not work...does anyone know the truth to this?

Yes...it does have to be in a dark coloured bottle...I forget exactly what happens but basically sunlight/light breaks it down from H2O2 (peroxide) into H2O (water) and O (oxygen). So, I guess if it sits long enough in light, then you could drink it. ;)

I have to just reply to this post again :lol: I am a huge peroxide fan! I pour it in my ears, I rinse my mouth with it, of course it's great for cleaning cuts! I have used it for tooth pain.

Also, If you are on a well like us, bleach will gray your whites because of the iron in your water, but peroxide doesn't and yes, bleach does kill the bacteria in your septic system and well, you do need bacteria in your septic tank!

O.k. gang, GG has messed up. Where it says at the bottom of a post "Blog this Post" I thought it meant that if I had my own blog out there on the World-Wide-Web that somehow the forum knew it and would link to it via internal workings of the forum. So I clicked "blog this post" and it has put it on the blog section of HCWT. Not my intention at all. Example, if I click the words "Share with Facebook" at the bottom of a post, it goes to Facebook (mine), but my assumption was not too far afield. How-some-ever, the outcome was not as intended. So I'll go through the regular steps and copy/paste it to my blog. :)

Nice information, Karren.
