Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Hydrogen peroxide is a common first-aid antiseptic because it helps oxidize and break down bacteria and debris in minor cuts and scrapes. It then decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residue behind when used appropriately. Beyond the medicine cabinet, it's also a useful household cleaner. You can help disinfect cutting boards by spraying them with hydrogen peroxide, letting it sit briefly, then rinsing thoroughly (you can mix it with white vinegar as a separate step for added cleaning power, but hydrogen peroxide and vinegar should not be mixed in the same container). It can also be used to help reduce surface bacteria on fruits and vegetables: Lightly mist produce, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse well with water before eating.
