Equate 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Topical Solution Antiseptic Spray, 8 fl oz

Because I use it for cleaning up after anything gross (like handling raw meat) it is so nice to have it in a spray bottle that is brown, so people won't confuse it with water and spray it in their hair or something. I haven't researched all the uses, but I bet there are a lot. A.I. says: It's a powerful sanitizer that kills bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. It's environmentally friendly because it breaks down into water and oxygen, making it a greener alternative for some cleaning and bleaching tasks, and is an effective cleaner that cuts through grease and removes stains. So if you have baking soda on hand to mitigate fungi, I think you've got a remedy for most germs. A.I. also says you can safely mix hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (which may inhibit the growth of fungi) to create an effective, non-toxic cleaning paste or solution for various household tasks. The combination creates a fizzing reaction that releases oxygen gas, which helps break down stains, cut through soap scum, and eliminate odors.

This spray is a staple in my cabinet—affordable, easy to use, and effective for basic household cleaning and disinfecting. I know it would be more eco-friendly to transfer peroxide into a reusable glass spray bottle, but I'm hesitant about exposing it to air or light during the transfer. Until I find a better solution, I just keep buying these. It's not fancy, but it's reliable and convenient, which counts for a lot.
