20 Hydrogen Peroxide Tricks Mexican Mothers Swear By (The $1 Bottle That Replaces $80 of Products)

Go to the cabinet under your sink and count the bottles. I did it at my comadre's house: twenty three, and I stopped adding the receipt in my head when I passed eighty dollars. Behind the bathroom mirror was a brown bottle. One dollar, three quarters full. That one bottle does the job of every product I had just counted. 📖 My mother's whole way of running a house is written down in one book, The Old Mexican Way: https://oldmexicanway.com So today I do the arithmetic out loud. Twenty tricks, and for every one I name the product it retires and about what it costs. We cross eighty dollars at number thirteen, with seven still to go. And before anybody feels bad about the twenty three bottles: every one was sold to you for one job, by a label that never mentioned the brown bottle could do it. THE LAUNDRY 1. The whites: one cup in the bleach compartment instead of the cloro 2. Blood: cold water first, then pour and watch it fizz 3. The yellow under the arms and the collar: two parts peroxide, one part dish soap, a spoon of bicarbonato 4. The mattress, and the clothespin so you can find the spot again 5. The carpet and the sofa: test a hidden corner first THE KITCHEN 6. The cutting board and the counter after raw meat: soap first, then ten minutes wet 7. The sponge and the estropajo 8. The lunch bags, the cooler and the water bottles 9. The refrigerator seal and the shelf where the chicken dripped 10. The pet's water bowl, rinsed twice THE BATHROOM 11. The mold around the faucet. Cloro eats chrome. This does not 12. The shower liner and the bath mat 13. The toothbrushes, the retainer and the denture cup. This is where the receipt passes eighty dollars 14. The hairbrushes, the combs and the makeup brushes 15. The small tools: tweezers, clippers, thermometer, earring posts THE REST OF THE HOUSE 16. The washing machine door seal 17. The tile floor. Not the hardwood, not the stone 18. The bath toys and the high chair. The squeeze toy with black inside gets thrown out 19. The trash can and the grocery bags 20. The humidifier tank. You clean the empty tank, you never run it in the machine The receipt at the end: about one hundred and twenty eight dollars of products, for a bottle that costs one. THE HONEST PART: two things it cannot do. It is not a degreaser, that is dish soap, which is why you wash first every time. And it does not dissolve hard water crust, that is vinegar. So it is three bottles, not twenty three: the brown bottle, the vinegar jug, the blue dish soap. THE RULES: the 3% brown bottle only. Used alone: never with vinegar, never with bleach or ammonia, in any container. Light kills it, so put a sprayer on the brown bottle and never pour it into a clear one. It lightens, so test a hidden corner, and never on wool or silk. Keep it off marble, granite and hardwood. Anything that touches a mouth, a child or a pet gets rinsed. It was never good for cuts. Whitening your teeth with it is a question for your dentist. The feet and the toilet have their own videos on this channel. Tell me in the comments which product in your cabinet you are never buying again. I want the name. Tell me your county too, the way you all do. I read every single one. 📖 Everything my mother knew about the house is written down in one book, The Old Mexican Way: https://oldmexicanway.com This is household cleaning, not medical advice.
