Maintaining a clean refrigerator is crucial for food safety and preventing the spread of bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide can be used to safely sanitize and deodorize the interior of your refrigerator. Begin by removing all food and shelves. Then, mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle and spray the interior surfaces. Wipe everything clean with a cloth. This method effectively eliminates bacteria and odors without leaving behind any harmful chemical residues, ensuring a safe environment for your food.

Over time, white fabrics can lose their brightness and develop a yellowed appearance. Hydrogen peroxide offers a gentle way to restore their whiteness. Add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide to your washing machine along with your regular laundry detergent when washing white clothes. Unlike chlorine bleach, hydrogen peroxide is a milder bleaching agent that brightens whites without causing the fabric to weaken or yellow further. This method helps keep your white garments looking fresh and vibrant.
