Toys, especially those shared among children, can accumulate bacteria and germs. Hydrogen peroxide provides a safe way to clean and disinfect them. Mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water in a spray bottle. Spray the toys thoroughly with the solution and let them sit for a few minutes to disinfect. Then, rinse the toys with clean water and allow them to dry completely. This practice helps to prevent the spread of illness among children.

Hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial for growing sprouts by helping to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi that can hinder their development. Dilute hydrogen peroxide with water, using about 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide per quart of water. Use this diluted solution to rinse your sprouts during the sprouting process. This will help to reduce the risk of mold and promote the growth of healthy, vigorous sprouts.
