has many uses.
One of my neighbors recommended it for a carpet stain remover.

MY daughter use it in the washer instead of bleach.  It did work good on the dish towels.

I have also used hyrogen peroxide on horses when they have had wounds.

I know it will remove fresh blood stains from clothing too.  I have not tried it on a carpet stain or in a load of laundry.

Yes, I have witnessed that peroxide will definitely remove fresh blood stains without a doubt! I was amazed when I saw this! My husband wounded his hand last summer and as the doctor was preforming surgery he got blood on his doctor coat and quickly used the peroxide and the blood stain disappeared like magic. Definitely worth keeping around in the house! :)

Just saw this yesterday....I'm always sick & looking for home remedies.
(**Also would be very careful about using peroxide around pets, it can blind them if they get it in their eyes.)

How to Use Hydrogen Peroxide for Colds and Flu

    Lay down on your side.
    Put 6 drops in your ear.  You will hear a fizzing and crackling noise.
    Wait five minutes.
    Wait until the bubbling and stinging subside (usually 5 to 10 minutes), then drain onto a tissue or the sink and repeat with the other ear.
    Get a good night sleep.

 It is proven to be effective especially if done when your symptoms first appear.

I have certainly used hydrogen peroxide on cuts and wounds but also I get my sons to gargle with it when they have a sore throat. They say it heals up real quick. I have noticed that hydrogen peroxide is an ingredient in teeth whitening products so I guess it stands to reason that it will work well at removing other stains too. In my opinion, hydrogen peroxide is as useful as baking powder in the kitchen.

I use it for cleaning my cuts. I have heard of using it on stained clothes. However I have not tried it. I am sure that it works for other things too., I just have not heard of them. BMaston12

I use hydrogen peroxide for my ears to get the ear wax out. I hate qtips and I have had a few bad experiences with it. I don't know if you're supposed to use it your ears but my nephew has a condition where he gets scabs in his ears and they prescribed him concentrated peroxide for it.
