FAQs
How do I use it as a multi-purpose cleaner?
Apply directly to the surface, let it sit for five minutes to disinfect, then wipe away dirt and germs with a clean cloth. For tougher grime, you may need to scrub gently.
Can I use this on coloured fabrics?
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild bleach. While generally safe, it is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure colourfastness before applying to the entire item.
How should I store the hydrogen peroxide?
Store in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
What is the concentration of this product?
This product is a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide.
Can I mix this with other cleaners?
No, it is strongly advised not to mix hydrogen peroxide with other cleaning agents, especially ammonia or bleach, as this can create dangerous fumes or chemical reactions.
How long does it take to disinfect surfaces?
For effective disinfection, allow the product to remain on the surface for at least five minutes before wiping it away.
Is this product safe for use around food?
Once rinsed thoroughly from food-contact surfaces, it is generally considered safe as the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen. However, it's always best practice to rinse food preparation surfaces after cleaning with any chemical agent.
Troubleshooting
Product is not effective on a stain.
Ensure the stain is organic. For dried-in stains, pre-treat by applying the solution and letting it sit for longer (up to 15 minutes) before blotting. For very old or difficult stains, multiple applications may be necessary.
Surface colour appears faded after use.
This is due to the mild bleaching effect. Always test on a small, hidden area first. For future use on similar materials, dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water before application or reduce the contact time.
No visible foam or reaction.
A lack of foam does not necessarily mean the product is inactive. The foaming is caused by the reaction with organic material. For general disinfecting on clean surfaces, you may not see significant foaming.
