Dilute 35% Hydrogen Peroxide For Home Use

Here's a tip for diluting technical grade Hydrogen Peroxide to 3%. Find a local reseller of fresh food grade or technical 35% H2O2. Reuse a plastic 1 gallon jug and add 1 cup of the 35% H2O2 and fill jug with filtered water. This wonderful environmentally friendly mix can be sprayed on everything except hair (will bleach to very blond). It helps degrade toxic buildup in home and yard.

Editor's Note: Be very careful when handling and storing 35% Hydrogen Peroxide. It is much stronger and more dangerous than the 3% solution you get at the grocery market. You won't want someone confusing 35% for 3% so make sure it is clearly marked as poison and not somewhere that it might be confused with 3%. If you spill it or get any on your skin, you want to dilute the effected area immediate. If ingested, immediate medical attention is require.

How can hydrogen peroxide be environmentally friendly? Do you realise what it does to hair if used continuously? It makes it dry out and break off, I know from experience.
