This is what Oxi clean is... 3% peroxide...............

"I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars."

Did you Know that????

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe). No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on the bottle).

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.
8 . Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.

9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.

11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid of boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

12. You can also add a cup of pero xide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is why I love it so much for this.

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner.

Send on to others who might need to know the benefits of 3% peroxide ...

grandma replied: As a beauty aid I learned of peroxide when I wanted my hair more blonde.
As an adult I've learned all the medical bennies from it, I'm a big fan!
I use it for soaking my dental retainers nightly. Sometimes I'll brush my teeth with it too.

MoonMama replied: I knew of some of those but not all. Very interesting indeed.

sparkys2boys replied: wow, who knew/ don't know about putting in my mouth though.. umm the taste must be terrible. TFS!

Calimama replied:
That's what I was thinking. 10 minutes can be a LONG time.

grandma replied:
It's not bad to me at all.....

My2Beauties replied: Wow that's neat! I need to try some of those.

No way could I hold it for 10 minutes...I'd be going crazy!!

sparkys2boys replied: Ok I can't get over the holding it in your mouth thing..lol? I am half tempted to try it to see what it is like..lol.

:.Mrs_Mommy.: replied: I had thrush (sp) when I was about 10 or so and my grandma had me rinse my mouth out with 50/50 peroxide everynight and although the taste is definately not my fave, its not bad and the thrush was cured in a fraction of the time. The thrush made it hard to eat anything because my tongue hurt so bad but after the first day it felt better.

Cece00 replied: The taste is pretty bad IMO...maybe you 'get used to it" ?

I use it a lot around here though.
