Useful Ways To Use Hydrogen Peroxide Around The Garage
By PAMELA SIEGEL
Oil
Make a paste with 3% hydrogen peroxide and flour or baking soda, and spread it liberally over old oil stains in your garage. Leave it overnight, then scrape up the residue.
Skunks
To remove skunk spray on clothing, wash it out in a bucket filled with one part hydrogen peroxide to six parts water, soak it for up to two hours, rinse it, then launder it.
Knobs
Use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect germy door knobs, light switches, garage door remotes, and alarm system keypads in your garage that are often touched with dirty hands.
Rust
Get stubborn rust stains out of concrete by making a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, applying it to the stains, scrubbing them, then rinsing area with clean water.
Rats
Spray rat droppings with hydrogen peroxide, pick them up with a paper towel, put everything in a sealed plastic bag and discard it, then sanitize the area with more peroxide.
