Peroxide is used to oxygenate, clean, even lighten things (like hair! It's in a lot of hair dyes and stuff like Sun-In. You can put it directly on your hair and go out in the sun. It will lighten your hair but it also dries it out something terrible so I don't recommend;). You can use peroxide on cuts to get them cleaned and add oxygen to them (inhibits some of the baddie germs) but it also kind of lightens your skin just a bit temporarily. Peroxide can be found with baking soda in toothpastes designed to whiten teeth (since it's a bleach) and it can be used as mouthwash (I think you need to dilute it though - always read the bottle) and to help get wax out of your ears. You can sanitize cutting boards with it, too. I have always found it on the bottom shelf in the area with Band Aids and first aid stuff, usually in dark brown plastic bottles. It's super cheap, too! You can get a nice sized bottle for less than $1. http://www.snopes.com/medical/homecure/peroxide.asp

This was such a helpful post. I found all of the ingredients that I needed in bulk at a local store and made most of the cleaners! I'm linking to this post on my blog so that hopefully some of my friends can use them too. I have so enjoyed reading your blog, thanks for all of the info.

Jess, my understanding is that the main difference is the strength of the acidity. Distilled vinegar is a bit higher in acidity than the regular white vinegar (around 5% as compared to 4%). It's not really suitable for eating, but great for cleaning.

I don't know where to find it, though I'm sure it does exist in Canada. I just use the huge jugs of white vinegar from Costco for my cleaning and they work pretty well. If you do find distilled, let me know! :)

I know this post was a while ago, but I am hoping someone will read my comment/question. Can someone tell me where to get distilled white vinegar? I have only seen pure white vinegar in the stores here. Is it a Canada vs US thing?
