Hydrogen peroxide is a germicidal agent made up of water and oxygen, which makes it the safest natural sanitizer . It`s a colorless liquid that is slightly more viscous than water. It is most commonly used as disinfectant, bleaching agent, and oxidizer. However, it turns out that this versatile liquid has countless uses. This article focuses on 65 of them, so make sure you check them all out and get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide as soon as possible. Note: Pure hydrogen peroxide can explode when heated to its boiling point. This is the reason why most of household products contain a diluted solution, mostly having 3-5% of the active chemical. THE COMPLETE LIST 1. Eliminate Viruses Experts claim that applying 3 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the ear helps reduce the duration of cold or flu.

If you look around your home today, you’ll probably see tile on one or more surfaces. Tile is commonly used on foyer, bathroom, laundry and kitchen floors, shower walls and fancier backsplashes in American homes.   If you lived somewhere else in the world —  like Europe, for example —  you’d probably have much more of it in your house. Tile makers want us to see the greater possibilities here, too, and so they sponsor visits by American architects, interior designers and journalists to their major trade shows . Cersaie, held in Italy every September, is one of those shows. Organized by the country’s ceramic trade association , it brings 100,000 attendees to Bologna to ogle acres of tile and buy boatloads (literally) of it for their projects around the world. Some of those shipments make their way to the United States. Given tile’s versatility, low maintenance and durability, it’s definitely worth considering for your home, beside the spaces we traditionally think of using tile. Here ar...

What could be more refreshing than a quick shower after a long run, or a warm shower on a really cold night? But you are not the only living thing that likes your shower - germs do too. The warm, moist and dark conditions in the shower make it a germ danger zone . The germs that live in clogged drains may be washed up to the surface when the shower is used and disease might spread. Unclean taps might also spread cold and flu bacteria. The shower curtain can also be germ-ridden, especially since it stays moist when it's not opened and aired. Apart from the bacteria that may lurk in the drainpipes and on the taps of showers, several disease-causing fungi and viruses can be present on shower floors. Athlete's foot (Tenis pedis) and Plantar's warts are frequently spread in this way. And although mildew isn't necessarily a health hazard, moulds may actually ruin your shower curtains. Cleaning the shower This task should not take long, but should be done regularly. I...

Caulking, as part of routine homeowner maintenance , prevents avoidable damage around the multiple fixtures and different building materials located inside a bathroom. To get started all you need to know are the areas inside a bathroom that need to be regularly maintained, how to remove existing caulking , and how to apply a new bead of caulk. What Areas Need to Be Maintained? Gaps occur along joints, the transitions between materials or surfaces.

Specific locations will vary depending on the fixtures and materials installed in your home. Examples include: Along the seams of a tub/shower surround; Along the wall, where a tub/shower surround termin...
