The Center for Disease Control recommended using hydrogen peroxide for disinfecting healthcare facilities in 2008.

Hydrogen peroxide does its work without fumes, such as with chlorine. There are different concentrations of this available. But even the 3% commercial grade is a disinfectant. It needs to be left on the surface for 2-30 minutes.

So with flu season coming up and other viruses just around the corner, it is a good time to experience the benefits of H2O2.
