For those who use oral appliances or dentures, maintaining cleanliness is crucial for oral health. Hydrogen peroxide is an effective and gentle cleaner for these items, helping to remove bacteria and stains. To clean, soak the appliance or denture in a solution of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water for 15-30 minutes. This process helps to sanitize and refresh, ensuring the appliance is safe and comfortable to use. Regular cleaning with hydrogen peroxide can extend the lifespan of oral appliances and promote oral hygiene, making it an essential practice for users.

In sustainable gardening, hydrogen peroxide can be used to enhance soil health and promote plant growth. Its oxygenating properties help to break down organic matter, improving soil structure and nutrient availability. To use, dilute hydrogen peroxide with water and apply it to the soil around plants. This practice can boost root development and increase resistance to diseases. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide can be used to sterilize seeds before planting, reducing the risk of fungal infections. This application supports sustainable gardening practices, contributing to healthier plants and more productive gardens.
