Hydrogen peroxide is best used as a household disinfectant and stain remover. It’s not recommended for acne or wound care.
Hydrogen peroxide is a common household chemical with uncommon potential. From veggies to kitchen sinks, learn how peroxide can help keep you healthy.
Peroxide, any of a class of chemical compounds in which two oxygen atoms are linked together by a single covalent bond. Several organic and inorganic peroxides are useful as bleaching agents, as initiators of polymerization reactions, and in the preparation of hydrogen peroxide (q.v.) and other
