You should consult your dentist or doctor before using hydrogen peroxide to treat ailments. Great tips! These two are so useful and much less expensive than other cleaners. This from both my dentist and my oral surgeon. I have yet to find anything that does remove it completely. Be aware your skin will itch a lot for a few hours. And rinse you skin when your done if you do that otherwise it will just keep itching.
H with Dawn blue dish soap removes all stains. The best way to get blood out of anything, yes even white clothes, is to use your own saliva make sure not to eat anything beforehand or rinse with water before doing this it will even get dried blood that has gone through the wash and dryer out.
All you do is rub some spit on the spot until it starts to disappear or dab with a wet paper towel. I remove any blood stains with cold water and salt. Seems to work quite well if you can do this as soon as the stain forms or keep the stain wet as possible up until doing this.
EllieD My dentist told me to use it as a regular mouth wash. Thanks for clarifying this out for other readers! Use H as a sub for ear wax solutions. A few drops in the ear for a minute, then flush with the hottest water you can stand. It works. That was an expensive trip. Have been cleaning my ears with straight Peroxide for almost 50 years.
Mom was an RN working for a Pediatrician who told her to clean ours that way. I have never tried the hot water flush and not sure I want to. With my son I have him repeat this step multiple times after we do a clean until they come out clear. Oz had it on his show!! Use for towels that have become musty smelling. Gets rid of the smell. Janice Thanks for this tip! Do you know if it works on smelly athletic clothes? Which means, even if they are clean, they smell like BO!
As for using hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, it should be noted that the 2 must never be combined in the same container.
It creates peracetic acid, which is corrosive and potentially toxic and harmful to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. The ACI recommends soaking your garments in a strong degreasing product, like a powerful, industrial dish soap , and leaving them in a tub outside. If the smell persists—which is likely—repeat. Dogs are cute—until they pee on your carpet.
These ingredients might help at first, but as any dog owner knows, the smell of pee always comes back… Terminator style. But humidity from the air and the cleaning solution crystallizes the uric acid , letting it live to fight another stinky battle. The AIC suggests a product specially formulated to fight off pet pee stains, but you can also try an enzymatic detergent.
Before you use it, though, make sure you read the instructions of the product of your choice carefully, and test it on an inconspicuous spot of your carpet. Just as with dog pee, try a specialized product or go straight for the enzymatic cleaner. She has previously worked as an editor for MSN.

I thought someone had let off a stink bomb. You see, even back then I was a lot more familiar with emissions from test tubes than from animals. This certainly smelled as if someone had mixed sodium sulfide with an acid to release hydrogen sulfide-the classic smell of rotten eggs and stink bombs. A smell potent enough to quickly drive any living creature away.
Which of course is exactly what the skunk has in mind when it lets loose from the little scent glands on either side of its rectum. Scientists have long been intrigued by the chemical composition of skunk aroma. Way back in , the famous German chemist Friedrich Wohler received a gift of "Nordamerikanischen Stinkthiers" fluid from a "freunde in Neuyork. Swarts of Gent.
Swarts carried out the first analysis of skunk secretion and found it to be a complex mixture of many substances which distilled at different temperatures. There was a price to pay for this enlightenment. Wohler described that his assistant's health was adversely affected. I've got to feel sorry for Swarts. Who knows, maybe he was an ancestor! Although chemists have been working on the problem of the exact composition of skunk fragrance for over a hundred years, only recently have the specific smelly compounds been identified.
This type of research of course is wrought with difficulty. First of all, how does one procure a sample? Very carefully! Skunks are trapped and anesthetized with ether. A blunt needle is then inserted into the anal sac of the animal and the contents removed by means of a syringe.
This sample is then subjected to analysis by an instrumental technique known as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry which can separate and identify the components of a mixture. But if you leave the room for fifteen minutes and then come back, the smell is overpowering.
The same thing happens when you use tomato juice on skunk spray. Tomato juice also has a strong smell, so at first your nose reacts more to the new tomato juice smell than to the old skunk smell.
But after a while, the effect wears off, and you're back to smelling like skunk or skunk parmagiana. The hydrogen peroxide and baking soda recipe that Wood suggests invented by Illinois chemist Paul Krebaum works better because it actually changes the chemistry of the skunk spray. It converts the smelly compounds into odorless chemicals. But the drawback is that you have to apply it to a surface; for skunk smell in the air, the best solution is to open a window.
Now try and answer these questions:. Wood has created a detailed skunk spray site on his own homepage. The UK's schoolscience site has a detailed lesson on the chemistry of smells and smelling. See the Tool. See the Collection. See the Lesson.
