Why Are People Hoarding Hydrogen Peroxide?

As far as I know hydrogen peroxide is effective against the Covid-19 via a nebulizer. I wonder if people are using it to wash hands and clean surfaces where it is ineffective against the virus.
 

Is that an every-other-day thing with the baking soda, or more/less often?

I guess it's a mild abrasive?
There is a chemical reaction when you mix peroxide and baking soda - it bubbles up. I spray my toothbrush with the peroxide and then dip it into baking soda. I've done this for 35 years and have never had to have my teeth cleaned. Dentist seen last year praised my little old mouthful of teeth and gum health. I highly recommend it!

When I was a kid we made "bombs" out of prescription bottles (before safety caps) and baking soda/peroxide, so I'm familiar with the reaction. I wondered what the brushing experienced was like. I'll have to try it.
 
I've never used the peroxide but I'll bet it would work great! I hadn't had my teeth cleaned in a long,long time. The hygenist said, "I'd make a bet you had your teeth cleaned no longer than a week ago! hahaha! No plaque! None at all! but she still charged me $180.00!
 
I don't know why they are hoarding it right now. I use it as a mouth rinse because I get a sore tongue from certain foods and that is the only thing that takes it away. I also use it as stain remover on laundry. So I always have some stocked up.
 
It is an ingredient in WHO's formula for Covid-19 disinfectant spray. (I also brush my teeth with peroxide and baking soda.)
It is not the store shelf peroxide people use to prevent infections and brush their teeth with labeled "3%...First aid antiseptic. Oral debriding agent." Hydrogen peroxide comes in several formulas.

The other active ingredient in the WHO formula is rubbing alcohol - and I had no idea that it came in different strengths, either! Mine was a little shy of 100 proof - sadly, I don't have any moonshine to substitute! (-:
 
Yes ammonia is pretty powerful. You should use a mask and provide plenty of ventilation but I haven't found a cleaning product that cleans as good as this one. And it's invaluable for cleaning an oven. Just leave a dish of ammonia in the oven overnight.

In the morning wipe it clean. However. I can't find it anymore and couldn't find it even before the COVID. It must have caused problems.
 
With both hand sanitizer and alcohol being in short supply, some people are using it to disinfect things. I use it for cuts and mouthwash {only when I run out of the other mouthwash}. As far a sanitizing goes, pure grain alcohol works well, outside and in.
