34.5% Concentrate:
Intended for large-volume water systems only. Wear gloves, use extra caution, do not spill on ground.
Initial Start-Up:
Add approximately 1 cup of 34.5% hydrogen peroxide per 500 gallons of water. Circulate water thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Ongoing Maintenance:
Add approximately 4 ounces per 500 gallons weekly, adjusting based on bather load and direct sunlight exposure.
Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used as an oxidizer to help maintain water clarity and reduce organic buildup.
Important:
Use hydrogen peroxide in place of chlorine. Do not use together, as the two chemicals will neutralize each other and reduce effectiveness.
Wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling concentrate. Do not use for personal or direct skin applications. Take caution not to spill on self, others, or the ground.
Follow all manufacturer, local, and transportation safety guidelines.
Use 3% hydrogen peroxide directly from a plastic container. Rinse the affected area with clean water. Apply a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide to clean minor cuts, scrapes, or abrasions. Allow brief bubbling, then rinse again with water. Use only for initial cleaning. Do not use repeatedly on the same wound, as this can cause damage to the healing process.
Soak feet for 15–20 minutes for general hygiene and odor control. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly after soaking.
For external use only.
Apply using a cotton pad or cloth.
Saturate a cotton pad with 3% hydrogen peroxide and apply to clean, dry underarms. Allow to air dry.
Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Dilute equal parts 3% hydrogen peroxide and water.
Swish gently for up to 30 seconds, then spit out completely. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
Do not swallow.
Use full-strength 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Place toothbrushes, retainers, or dental appliances in a plastic container. Cover with 3% hydrogen peroxide and soak for 30 minutes.

After cleansing, lightly apply 3% hydrogen peroxide to the skin using a cotton pad. Avoid eyes and sensitive areas. Rinse after brief contact.
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin exposure.
Fill the bathtub completely with warm water before adding hydrogen peroxide.
Add approximately 1 cup of 34.5% hydrogen peroxide to a full tub. Mix water gently to ensure even distribution.
Soak for a short duration as desired. Rinse skin with clean water after bathing. Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas.
Timing Notice:
Some users report feeling energized after use. Avoid bathing within 2 hours before bedtime.
Additives:
Epsom salts may be added if desired. Note that salts may reduce the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide due to chemical interaction.
Important:
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not add concentrate to an empty or partially filled tub. Not intended for children.
External use only. Do not ingest.
To make a standard 3% solution, mix 11 ounces of distilled water with 1 ounce of 34.5% concentrate. Always add peroxide to water, never water to peroxide. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling concentrate, and use plastic (HDPE/PET) containers only — never metal or glass.
3% solution: may typically be poured down the drain with running water — verify local wastewater regulations first.
34.5% concentrate: dilute to 3% before disposal.
Commercial use: a neutralizing agent such as sodium sulfite or sodium metabisulfite may be used before disposal.
