Add two teaspoons of three percent hydrogen peroxide to the automatic dishwasher dispenser before running a load of dishes. Add your normal soap as well and run on a normal cycle. Dishes will be disinfected and sparkling.

Run a stream of three percent hydrogen peroxide over your toothbrushes to disinfect. Be sure to rinse thoroughly in cold water before using the toothbrushes again.

Clean Keyboards

Dampen a cotton swab with three percent hydrogen peroxide and run it over the keys of your computer keyboard to disinfect and clean. The cotton swab will be able to reach well between the keys.
