Thank you for your study. One thing I would note: Hydrogen Peroxide loses potency once it is exposed to light. Hence the brown bottle. Don't transfer the HP to a new bottle, just use a NEW Clean Spray nozzle and cut it to fit the Orig. brown bottle. I just reuse the nozzle and place it into a new bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide when the other is empty. Problem solved.
I’m a colon Hydrotherapist and I use hydrogen peroxide the majority of the time I clean after a client. I was so excited when I saw you tested these and they turned out good. I also use Hypochlorous acid but I was wary because I had not heard much about it. I’ll use it a LOT more now!
I do like Hypochlorous acid but the only downside is the long sit time which might be hard to achieve between your clients. Lysol wipes do have a very short wait time... maybe look at those for times when you have a short time between clients. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
@@cbak1819Since I started using coconut oil, shampoo and all coconut, products, I have had no more common colds. Almost all my family use coconut products. I always bathe my Shih tzu, who screamed while scratching her ears, with coconut shampoo and all the infections disappeared.
I love that you test out different places and different surfaces bcoz I'm pretty sure that the material of the surface like ceramic and stainless steel makes a difference to the efficacy of the products 😁🤓
Both sinks are designed to have water flow to the drain. The counter was flat and had contact with the peroxide the entire 5 minutes while the both sinks had it running away from the swabbed area toward the drain.
Good observation! One of the things I do during testing is make sure the surface remains wet for the allotted time. Occasionally I have to re-test days later to ensure it gets the full time.
We used Hydrogen peroxide 3% and Spor-Klenz in rotation in our Class 8 clean room. Our procedure has us wait 3 minutes. The bio lab comes in at various times later to do testing. Everything is done on a schedule and is recorded for the FDA.
Could some of the remaining bacteria be good bacteria from food and that is why it's tested like it has? H2O2 is an amazing product. I spray 3% food grade over my skin after showering. The 1 minute cure is a book worth owning.I love these videos. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your interest which just flooded my mind with stored files in my brain from microbiology class over 30 years ago. I forgot how much I enjoyed learning about the unseen life all around us that can help or harm us.
I’m interested in seeing one of your cleaning tests for powdered bleach cleaners like Comet Bleach or Ajax Bleach (both in the cardboard cans with tin lids). Thanks for your channel I’ve been interested in what you’re finding in the Petri dish tests!
Small tip.,.. for vertical areas and problem areas, you can put toilet paper in the area and wet completely with hydrogen peroxide. Then form the toilet paper to the problem area. This is *especially* good for moldy caulk lines. As you can see it goes from black to grey. However, in the end, a cheap $90 UV light run for 30 minutes once on each end of the room completely sterilized the area. Multiple positions are needed to deal with shadows.
I love to use hydrogen peroxide, but recently learned that it shouldn't be used on stainless steel. I love that it's so cheap! I remove the cap and put on a sprayer.
@@shaspearman8647is it okay to use a regular sprayer if you’re storing it in a dark cabinet? I do have some opaque sprayers but sometimes I have clear or frosted ones too!
We use peroxide for disinfecting our Microgreens trays. I did some research some time back and found that peroxide Absorbs on pourus area. It kills any mold it comes in contact with according to our use over the past 4 years.
I found your video about the Bissell Steam Cleaner, and have binge watching since! I love these! It’s so interesting! I’m curious to see how Clorox/Lysol wipes do to disinfect toilet seats, kitchen counters, tables etc. Since they claim to kill 99.9%
Me toooo! I also started with the Bissel and have been binging the whole channel for the last two hours!!! I think Hydrogen peroxide may be my next household cleaner!!
I love nothing more than household bio science! I have become increasingly weaker and very sick over the years, but I'm a retired infection control nurse, so no matter how sick I get I keep the pathogens at bay. Bacteria, viruses, fungal, and parasitic Must be managed even if I can't do the other things they are the first priority. Thank you for what you're doing! When I visit a loved one in the hospital I will be foamed bleach actual bleach, wear a glove and go over every single touch surface in the room. One hospital door was reflecting daylight showing a 2 foot diameter of multiple hand prints. That's what made me think I need to act, and I was right you are amazing!
Ooooh my gosh! I use peroxide and olive oil soap to clean my bathroom so thank you soooooooo much for doing this video! Sorry it took me so long to watch, I periodically go on LONG social media breaks and I think you made this when I was in the middle of one. But I love this and I WILL share!
You are so very welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it! I totally understand about taking social media breaks, it is good for you to that once in a while. Have a great day!
@@FieldOfFocus: I have a weird question. It’s VERY interesting that there were substantial bacterial colonies left in the bathroom sink of all places. Do you think it’s possible that it was beneficial bacteria? I’m just curious of your thoughts? Sorry if that’s a gross question, but there are two reasons why I wonder this: 1. There are both good AND bad bacteria in the mouth (as we know) and the bathroom sink is where we brush our teeth and such so obviously you spit in it (at least when you brush and rinse), right? Well, peroxide, as it’s made by the beneficial bacteria in the body/gut to kill dysbiotic/pathogenic cultures, probably will not kill good bacteria because it’s not made to do so. So could it be possible that the cultures in the sink that it would NOT kill were the beneficial ones?🤔 2. I used to use peroxide as a mouthwash (just a drop of it with water and swished), but soon started to question if it was killing off too many of the good cultures in my mouth and NOW (because of this video) I’m wondering if I was wrong?🤔 Again, just curious of your thoughts?
Great thoughts!! It is possible that the beneficial mouth bacteria is still there! I think it is a good thing to think about. I have considered attempting to identify the bacteria.. that is something I might tackle this summer. I would have a little more time to dedicate to testing out if I can identify bacteria. Super interesting thoughts! I appreciate your comments!
@@FieldOfFocus : THAT would be a video I would not want to miss! If you could identify the difference, THAT would be a game changer in how you test the cleaning ability of cleaners like peroxide and vinegar! Because remember we discussed how vinegar has cultures that are actually in it? You have VERY interesting videos, my friend! They are VERY helpful! Thank you so much!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I continue to really like your content. I tend to watch several at a time because while not a person of science, I wonder what the surfaces in my house are like. I think because I’ve subscribed to you, I saw some other petri fish test video on another channel and … that person was *not* a science person. I hurried away from that content post-haste to see this careful, methodical channel again! I don’t think I’ve seen Simple Green on your channel. Is that on your list? It’s kind of early 2000s nostalgic for me, but I’m pretty sure it’s still in stores.
Thoroughly enjoying these videos! Anytime we have the risk of a norovirus outbreak in the house, I use hydrogen peroxide to clean, as well as in the washing machine with the laundry, as it is one of the few things able to kill it. I'm positive it works on surfaces, but curious if it is working on the laundry. Being that we have 5 people in our household, and only 1 bathroom, I'm always concerned about the stomach bug specifically, lol. I'm interested if it is a good laundry sanitizer in general.
I make a 50/50 solution of peroxide and water and put it a brown bottle. I fill a shot glass and soak my toothbrush in it. I also use it as a mouthwash.
@kellyyork3898 You may have a sensitivity to it. I have been using it as a mouthwash for decades after I had four titanium pins placed in my jaw. I have always used it undiluted, but after a few minutes, I thoroughly rinse my mouth and brush my teeth. Also, you may have purchased the wrong solution because there are stronger varients. You should only use the 3% solution and dilute 1 part peroxide to 2 parts water. If you already have the 1.5% solution, you do not need to dilute it.
Could you do a list of the best non toxic products for germ killing in kitchen sink, tubs? My kids are lungs are sensitive to cleaning products plus I am environmentally conscious ❤❤❤
I avoid doing best of lists, because i test so many products, that list changes continuously! I have a playlist for less toxic products that might help you.
fantastic, happy I saw this one. Another one is 1 tsp of a bleach that contains both ingredients (i think it needs the sodium hypochlorite? , theres two..one disinfects and one whitens so you need the one that contains both sodiums..if that makes sense. I use 1 tsp per 32 ounces of water in a spray bottle...I wonder how that shows up?
I love your channel! Have you identified which types of bacteria are destroyed by each disinfectant? I have bad reactions near mold and whatever else grows in the garbage disposal. I clean it, but still react when water goes down the drain.
That’s what I was wondering too! Like I was intensely curious as to what the HP was not killing in the sink lol. Or if it was a surface issue. Or a material issue, like porous or ceramic vs porcelain or what.
The peroxide you get at Walgreen's, etc. is very diluted. Food-grade would probably kill everything. I would like to see a test of colloidal silver, which is supposed to be a universal microbiocide.
Good point! I will add Food Grade H2O2 to my suggestion list! I did some different testing with colloidal silver here: ruclips.net/video/tDiayzgDnts/видео.html Thanks for watching!
Fun fact, if u add a drop of hydrogen peroxide to bacterial colonies, some of them will begin to bubble! This is called the catalase test. This is a common test to help identify bacteria. staphylococci are catalase positive (will bubble) and streptococci are catalase negative (won’t bubble). Cheers!
I was just thinking about this video and I remembered reading elsewhere that hydrogen peroxide reacts with a lot of metals and it led me to wonder if it might break down more quickly on some metal surfaces as well. Just wondering if that seems plausible to you. In that case, I wonder if it might help to come back and spray the area again after 5 minutes or to use a 6% concentration on those surfaces. Edit: I realize your bathroom sink isn't metal, but I thought you may have swabbed the outer part of the drain. It's a bit hard to tell in the video.
Hi! So I did include baking soda in the Toilet Bowl Cleaner video as well as the video about Cleaning My Messy Stovetop. I would love to continue to test out Baking Soda and will add it to my list of viewer requests. Right now I have 20 view requests, so I will get to it, it just takes time for me to get through growing the bacteria, and letting the surfaces get dirty again for more testing! Thank you for the suggestion! Any particular ways you would like to see it tested?
Were the swabs, painter's tape, wiping towel, spray bottle, your hands, and the collection tray sterilized before you began collecting the samples? Any bacteria on those will affect the results of both the before and after samples. In addition, the ambient air in the room and your breath can also contaminate the immediate environment. Also, any particles in the air coming from an A/C vent would be a variable. It would be interesting to see the results after performing the same test over the course of several days.
The swabs are sterile and are purchased sterile, I wash my hands before each swab.. but this is my home not a lab... . I have a disclaimer in the description section " *******DISCLAIMER: All of the bacterial experiments that I perform are conducted in my home which does not have the same conditions as a laboratory, and is for entertainment only.*******" I am conducting these experiments in my home, not a sterile controlled lab. Take what you want leave what you want. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate your concern and wish I could have a lab in my home, but that just isn't my reality. I can perform the same test over a few days and will add that to my viewer request list. Right now I have about 60 requests so will do my best!
@@FieldOfFocus Thanks for telling me about the disclaimer. I didn't see it before. My post was not intended to discredit your tests, but merely to point out a few variables that would affect the outcome. I think it's great you did this. Even though it was not done in a lab, it proves that no matter how clean we believe our homes are, bacteria can be found everywhere, with some areas being worse than others. After I watched your video, I went to the kitchen to set up our coffee maker. As I was doing so, your video was fresh in my memory, so I grabbed a Lysol wipe and thoroughly wiped down that whole area. It also moved me to wonder how we even manage to survive with so much bacteria covering everything around us. Some say some bacteria is good while other kinds are harmful, especially when it comes to bacteria in our mouths. It's just too bad they are not visible to the naked eye....like color-coded or something. LOL But then again, that would probably just freak us all out. I wonder if God thought so, as well, when He was creating them. Hmmmm
@@grinning_owl I agree! Some bacteria is good for us (gut bacteria) some are harmful.. so keeping a balance is best. I can't imagine if we could see the bacteria! That would be a riot and I think people would be horrified of where it turns up!! HA!
Great video, just wanted to point out that the moving painters tape probably contaminated your bathroom sink dish sample. The tape moved and you dabbed the paper towel on the surface under the tape(obviously unintentionally while you were just trying to dry the intended swab area) and then redabbed the same towel on the same side of the towel on the surface that you swabbed for the sample. I'm no doctor but to me it seems clear, that this is the source of the bacteria in the A-region of the bathroom sink dish. It cant really be assumed that the surface under the tape was uniformly coated with peroxide, and/or for the same amount of time as the intended test surface. Unless of course you resprayed the area off-camera, after the tape moved, then that would obviously change my opinion. Regardless! Glad I saw this, I've never seen this before.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I have a love -hate relationship with that marking tape!! It is nice to show viewers the spot I am testing, but in a slippery sink it is just not feasible to keep it in place! I stopped using it in the sink for my other videos. Thanks for your thoughts!
I think if you washed the kitchen & bathroom sinks with soap first to remove the scum, the hydrogen peroxide would be able to be more effective. It worked best on a non-scummy surface like the counter and toilet seat.
i'm new to the channel so you may have answered this, but do you think the results would be different if you waited longer than 5 min (for those areas that did have some, albeit reduce bacterial growth)? Also, have you done vinegar and / or vinegar and H202?
Time could be a factor of course. I have a re-do of Hydrogen peroxide (I will link it) and I have tested Vinegar as well.

Do you think bacteria surviving on certain surfaces could be biofilms, since there was no scrubbing? I wonder if scrubbing with the disinfectant would change anything
The problem with using hydrogen peroxide as a household cleaner is that it is a corrosive agent. The common form is only 3% concentration, it's 97% water. and it's still very corrosive. It can easily damage appliances, furniture, all sorts of things, especially anything liable to rust. I like using it to clean tile floors though. also your mouth.
@@FieldOfFocus you can take a stick and put it in a cup of wet soil. Then put it in a bag or put another cup over it so it's humid. I ask because I that's how I root cuttings and I get mold all the time. I spray with the hydrogen peroxide but it just keeps coming back. So I don't know if it really kills it or not.
Have you ever tested peroxide mixed with dishwashing liquid to remove bacteria? Or even vinegar with dishwashing liquid. I would love to hear your thoughts on this
I have not tested H2O2 with dishsoap, but I have tested Vinegar and dishsoap here: Testing Vinegar! What Removes Bacteria Better:Full Strength, 50/50 Dish Soap or 50/50 Water?? #clean ruclips.net/video/9CKWda1vW5Q/видео.html
It really depends on what you like to use in your home. I have not done any cost analysis yet so hard to say which is the most cost effective. I will add that to my viewer suggestion list.
I don't put HP in a spray bottle; it looses its potency - needs to stay in the brown/dark bottle! - I pour it directly on the surfaces and clean with a cloth. I use it all around my home and also in my office at work.
That sounds good. I did spray for this test and put it in a bottle that you saw was wrapped in blue tape for just the quick duration of the test. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos! I also got sucked into binge-watching your videos after the Bissell video. I’m surprised that the hydrogen peroxide worked so well on your toilet! I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind making a video or short about how hydrogen peroxide works in your toilet bowl (not just the seat!)?
I am so glad you are enjoying my videos!! Great idea to test hydrogen peroxide in the toilet bowl, I will add that to my list!! Thank you for the suggestion!
So what specifically is the take away for hydrogen peroxide testing? That it works on certain bacteria but not others? Or is it the surfaces that it works better on than others? I’m psyched as all get out that it did a perfect job in the toilet lol. Hydrogen peroxide wouldn’t aggravate someone’s asthma I don’t think, not like a product containing bleach might. Also on the countertops, yay! I crush pills on a section of kitchen counter and use antibacterial wipes but I worry about residue and end up wiping a second time with a paper towel and plain water. I’ll be using HP more often now for SURE.
Hello, can you test Fabuloso, please? I have noticed that when I clean my bathtub with it, it sparkles! I would like to know if it is because it takes out all the bacteria.
You said you had problems with the sink in your bathroom and did your best to swap only the area in between the tape, but it looks like you did swap under the tape, i think that is the problem.
I’ve been binging your videos. Great content. Seems alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are great disinfectants for most surfaces. Toilet bowls seem to not be as disinfected by those two. What’s your recommendation for an effective natural bowl cleaner? Thank you 😄

Hey hi great video , but im wondering if you really did any justice to the hydrogen peroxide testing considering that its only 6% strength ? Can you possibly do a higher strength test. Such as 15% or 35 % which one can order online..
Hi there! I just chose that concentration of H2O2 because it is easily found in stores. I will add stronger concentrations to my viewer suggestion list! Thank you for watching and commenting!
You'd better wear gloves (personal experience). I bought 12% solution and used it with papertowel, no gloves and my finger tips to first joint turned white and started burning, they also got sticky. washed with soap and water, but stingy for a while. I used water to reduce the concentration to 3%, still will turn fingers white, but not as bad, use gloves.
I haven’t tested black mold because luckily I do not have a reliable source of it. So I cannot say. But I think if I had a mold issue I would try Force of Nature.

Hi there! I think Hydrogen Peroxide is great for treating wounds. If I remember correctly the white bubbles are just an enzyme reaction with your skin. Thanks for watching and I hope your wound is healing.
Das Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt zu Wasser und Sauerstoff. Der Sauerstoff reagiert mit den pathogenen Bakterien in ihrer entzündeten Wunde. Die Bakterienhüllen zerreißen dabei und das Bakterium ist tot. Der entstehende Sauerstoff bildet kleine Schaumblasen. Solange viele Schaumblasen entstehen, solange sind viele pathogene Erreger in ihrer Wunde. Deshalb mehrmals täglich anwenden, bis alles gut verheilt ist.
Bad for the skin and wounds. The white bubbling will be damaging skin tissue. It burns and stings. Try this: put some on your hand/a finger. Leave it on a few minutes before rinsing. Next day you'll have peeling skin. Happens to me when I don't use gloves when wiping off surfaces with a paper towel that becomes saturated. Or if I spray something and get overspray on my hand and don't notice until it begins to sting and turn white where it was. For wounds just use soap and water.
Hi there! I have started this test a few times, each time I don't have bacteria growth on my sponge for the before.. so I have to keep working on this one.
Hi. These are great videos. I would like to make a suggestion. The way I use hydrogen peroxide is the 2 spray bottle technique. One contains Hydrogen peroxide and the other contains white vinegar. I spray either one first, coating the surface pretty well, and then immediately spray the other one on that wet surface. It is the chemical reaction of the mixing that does the disinfecting. I suppose waiting a few minutes is in order before wiping it off. Putting both products in the same bottle defeats the purpose. I would love to see you give that a try. Thank you
Just discovered your channel and finding it so worthwhile! H2O2 seems to work better on dry surfaces. For AFTER samples, what if you were to first wipe it dry with a paper towel (with or w/o H2O2), then spray with H2O2? Do you think that would make a difference?
Interesting point! I am not sure if wet vs dry surfaces would show any difference! When I circle back to re-testing, I will consider this! Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
H202 works best at killing spores or weakening an infection in the human body to better allow the immune system to deal with it. Its actually quite poor against living fungus or bacteria. It will stunt them but they come back with no long term damage.
Curious question: Why did you wait 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes to allow the solution to disinfect? The CDC recommends 10 minutes to disinfect all microbes except spores with hydrogen peroxide. Just curious, thank you.
Hi there! So my bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide did not have any directions for using it as a household disinfectant. So what I did was look at other products that have hydrogen peroxide in them as active ingredient and most had a 5 minute wait time so that is what I used. I can always run it again with a longer time or with a precleaning with soap.. lots of options to test out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@FieldOfFocus thanks for responding! Perhaps those products using accelerated hydrogen peroxide which works much faster 🤔 anyway I would be interested in watching a video where 10 minutes was used. I used HP all the time to clean everything and your video was one of the few I could find like it! Thanks for posting 👍🏻
@@brittanygillon4049 thanks for your kind words. Great thought that those products could have had accelerated hydrogen peroxide. I will most certainly add the 10 min wait time to my list!!
Suggestion just for my own curiosity: Hydrogen Peroxide 3% vs. Isopropyl 70-99% vs. Mrs. Meyers. I'm curious about how they compete. It would also be interesting to note how cost-effective (on my end) each method would be.
oooh I yes.. I think I did one already.. let me link it here for you Dollar Store Cleaner: Does it Disinfect My Home?? VIEWER REQUEST ruclips.net/video/nmjDEL3BW4U/видео.html Dollar Store Wipes VS Clorox Wipes: Bacteria Test! ruclips.net/video/7Sv9Q8qpbbw/видео.html
So, obvious question (and i apologize if it's a stupid one) What happens if you use a half and half solution of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and 70% Isopropyl? or are those two chemicals you shouldn't mix? or do they negate each other? Thank you for your exceptionally helpful channel :) A happy new subscriber.
Hi there!! I do not know of any negative impacts for mixing hydrogen peroxide and alcohol, but I will dig a bit to make sure that is true. If they are ok together, it would make a good solution to test!! Thank you for watching, commenting, and subbing!
@@FieldOfFocus Thank you :) You got there first, i was about to add a 'PS' about homemade Paracetic Acid. Hopefully that'll make for a good test too. Thanks for the reply.
I think mixing would be fine, I know on skin that's how my mother would clean pretty bad knee scrapes when we were younger first peroxide then she'd put alcohol.
@@GabrielKnightz I know my mom would know alcohol like peroxide kills germs, so I guess some would say it's over kill to use both but I believe she would say mainly using the peroxide to clean it out and the alcohol more for like little longer continued keeping germs at bay but if I remember correctly the alcohol mainly for her was to help dry out boo boos out faster so will scrab to heal quicker instead of leaving the bad scrapes oozy like. Lol hope I make sense.
But you are physically removing bacteria by spraying and wiping. Maybe I missed this video, but did you observe colony reduction by spraying with plain water and then wiping?

How do different areas make any difference unless the surfaces are of different porosity? Just saying to allow product to absorb into or not... like ive heard that if you have moldy wood then bleach will only clean the surface but will still continue to mold from spores inside. But peroxide will actually get into those areas where the mold did and kill it.. but a plastic or melamine surface will be the same surface no matter where it is. Only some places it will have more bacterial growth than others.. so these different tests will only be clarification onto which types of bacteria peroxide will kill in the 5 minute window.. unless the bacteria are determined these tests will go on and seem to have mixed results throughout your testing even if you tested the same area over and over, each would be different unless you managed to get the same type of bacteria in the same areas every time..
Hi there! So various areas in the home have different type of bacteria on them. Example in the bathroom the toilet would have more exposure to E.Coli (from fecal matter) and perhaps the kitchen has more exposure to salmonella (chicken and eggs) etc. You make a great point that various surfaces do have different levels of being porous, which most certainly could impact the bacteria there. For my channel I do have this disclaimer on every video “DISCLAIMER: All of the bacterial experiments that I perform are conducted in my home which does not have the same conditions as a laboratory, and is for entertainment only.” I am not trying to replicate a laboratory setting where we get a vial of B.Subtilis and inoculate a surface then test a cleaner. I am testing how cleaners work in a real world setting of my home, which does not have the same controls that a lab (knowing the type of bacteria present) would have. I don’t have a way to test if a cleaner can be absorbed into wood to clean mold.. I just don’t. If I come up with a way to test that I will most certainly perform it. But for now, I am just testing household cleaners in real life situations where you do not know what types of bacteria are present. I appreciate your watching and commenting. Thank you.

Also aromatic spirits of ammonia is great !
I think it is the oh that drys out he area!
It will clear a fever blisters in a day or two!
I love that you test out different places and different surfaces bcoz I'm pretty sure that the material of the surface like ceramic and stainless steel makes a difference to the efficacy of the products 😁🤓
Thank you so much! I figure two places in the kitchen and bathroom represent different surfaces and dirt levels! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Both sinks are designed to have water flow to the drain. The counter was flat and had contact with the peroxide the entire 5 minutes while the both sinks had it running away from the swabbed area toward the drain.
Good observation! One of the things I do during testing is make sure the surface remains wet for the allotted time. Occasionally I have to re-test days later to ensure it gets the full time.
We used Hydrogen peroxide 3% and Spor-Klenz in rotation in our Class 8 clean room. Our procedure has us wait 3 minutes. The bio lab comes in at various times later to do testing. Everything is done on a schedule and is recorded for the FDA.
Great to hear that! When I worked with HIV we used bleach.
Could some of the remaining bacteria be good bacteria from food and that is why it's tested like it has? H2O2 is an amazing product. I spray 3% food grade over my skin after showering. The 1 minute cure is a book worth owning.I love these videos. Thank you!
I am unsure what strains of bacteria were leftover. Thank you for watching!!!!
My favorite things are HP, baking soda and vinegar! Must have them on hand at all times!
Do 70% Isopropyl Alcohol next!
I have a great list of viewer suggestions and I will most certainly add this to it!!!
Thank you for sharing your interest which just flooded my mind with stored files in my brain from microbiology class over 30 years ago. I forgot how much I enjoyed learning about the unseen life all around us that can help or harm us.
Thanks so much for your support!
Best MOUTH desinfectant -I brush my teeht with drops of it for over 25 years and never had any teeth issues 👍3% is fine
Awesome!
I’m interested in seeing one of your cleaning tests for powdered bleach cleaners like Comet Bleach or Ajax Bleach (both in the cardboard cans with tin lids). Thanks for your channel I’ve been interested in what you’re finding in the Petri dish tests!
Thanks for watching! Thank you for the suggestion, I will add it to my list of viewer requests! I am so glad you find this as interesting as I do!
Small tip.,.. for vertical areas and problem areas, you can put toilet paper in the area and wet completely with hydrogen peroxide. Then form the toilet paper to the problem area. This is *especially* good for moldy caulk lines. As you can see it goes from black to grey.
However, in the end, a cheap $90 UV light run for 30 minutes once on each end of the room completely sterilized the area. Multiple positions are needed to deal with shadows.
I love to use hydrogen peroxide, but recently learned that it shouldn't be used on stainless steel. I love that it's so cheap! I remove the cap and put on a sprayer.
Interesting about the stainless steel!! Thank you for commenting!
I destroyed the latex paint on an old kitchen counter by allowing peroxide to leak onto it. Otherwise it works.
Use a black or opaque sprayer
@@shaspearman8647
It comes in a large dark bottle at Sam’sor Costco. Just pop in the sprayer.
@@shaspearman8647is it okay to use a regular sprayer if you’re storing it in a dark cabinet? I do have some opaque sprayers but sometimes I have clear or frosted ones too!
We use peroxide for disinfecting our Microgreens trays. I did some research some time back and found that peroxide Absorbs on pourus area. It kills any mold it comes in contact with according to our use over the past 4 years.
Interesting information, thank you for sharing that. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I found your video about the Bissell Steam Cleaner, and have binge watching since! I love these! It’s so interesting! I’m curious to see how Clorox/Lysol wipes do to disinfect toilet seats, kitchen counters, tables etc. Since they claim to kill 99.9%
Thank you so much for watching! I have fun making these videos!! I will add those wipes to the list!! Take care!!!
Same on all of the above!
Me toooo! I also started with the Bissel and have been binging the whole channel for the last two hours!!! I think Hydrogen peroxide may be my next household cleaner!!
I love nothing more than household bio science! I have become increasingly weaker and very sick over the years, but I'm a retired infection control nurse, so no matter how sick I get I keep the pathogens at bay. Bacteria, viruses, fungal, and parasitic Must be managed even if I can't do the other things they are the first priority. Thank you for what you're doing! When I visit a loved one in the hospital I will be foamed bleach actual bleach, wear a glove and go over every single touch surface in the room. One hospital door was reflecting daylight showing a 2 foot diameter of multiple hand prints. That's what made me think I need to act, and I was right you are amazing!
Thank you for watching. I hope you are feeling better!!
I spray peroxide on my toothbrush😊.
Thanks for sharing!

Omg Im excited about this one!!! Thanks!!!
I am so glad you are enjoying my videos! Thank you for watching!
Ooooh my gosh! I use peroxide and olive oil soap to clean my bathroom so thank you soooooooo much for doing this video!
Sorry it took me so long to watch, I periodically go on LONG social media breaks and I think you made this when I was in the middle of one. But I love this and I WILL share!
You are so very welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it! I totally understand about taking social media breaks, it is good for you to that once in a while. Have a great day!
@@FieldOfFocus: I have a weird question. It’s VERY interesting that there were substantial bacterial colonies left in the bathroom sink of all places. Do you think it’s possible that it was beneficial bacteria? I’m just curious of your thoughts?
Sorry if that’s a gross question, but there are two reasons why I wonder this:
1. There are both good AND bad bacteria in the mouth (as we know) and the bathroom sink is where we brush our teeth and such so obviously you spit in it (at least when you brush and rinse), right? Well, peroxide, as it’s made by the beneficial bacteria in the body/gut to kill dysbiotic/pathogenic cultures, probably will not kill good bacteria because it’s not made to do so. So could it be possible that the cultures in the sink that it would NOT kill were the beneficial ones?🤔
2. I used to use peroxide as a mouthwash (just a drop of it with water and swished), but soon started to question if it was killing off too many of the good cultures in my mouth and NOW (because of this video) I’m wondering if I was wrong?🤔
Again, just curious of your thoughts?
Great thoughts!! It is possible that the beneficial mouth bacteria is still there! I think it is a good thing to think about. I have considered attempting to identify the bacteria.. that is something I might tackle this summer. I would have a little more time to dedicate to testing out if I can identify bacteria. Super interesting thoughts! I appreciate your comments!
@@FieldOfFocus : THAT would be a video I would not want to miss! If you could identify the difference, THAT would be a game changer in how you test the cleaning ability of cleaners like peroxide and vinegar! Because remember we discussed how vinegar has cultures that are actually in it?
You have VERY interesting videos, my friend! They are VERY helpful! Thank you so much!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Me too 👍
Thanks so much for your experiment's. After these I know how to best clean. And to do so cheaply and without all the toxins.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
I continue to really like your content. I tend to watch several at a time because while not a person of science, I wonder what the surfaces in my house are like. I think because I’ve subscribed to you, I saw some other petri fish test video on another channel and … that person was *not* a science person. I hurried away from that content post-haste to see this careful, methodical channel again!
I don’t think I’ve seen Simple Green on your channel. Is that on your list? It’s kind of early 2000s nostalgic for me, but I’m pretty sure it’s still in stores.
Simple Green is on my viewer suggestion list! It is nostalgic for me as well!! My dad loves it!
Thoroughly enjoying these videos! Anytime we have the risk of a norovirus outbreak in the house, I use hydrogen peroxide to clean, as well as in the washing machine with the laundry, as it is one of the few things able to kill it. I'm positive it works on surfaces, but curious if it is working on the laundry. Being that we have 5 people in our household, and only 1 bathroom, I'm always concerned about the stomach bug specifically, lol. I'm interested if it is a good laundry sanitizer in general.
I can understand this!
New viewer, and already love your content & thoroughness! 👍
Thank you so very much! I appreciate your support!
I make a 50/50 solution of peroxide and water and put it a brown bottle. I fill a shot glass and soak my toothbrush in it. I also use it as a mouthwash.
Thanks for sharing!!
I burned the inside of my mouth once using it as a mouthwash, and I diluted it first. Very painful. Just be careful.
@kellyyork3898 You may have a sensitivity to it. I have been using it as a mouthwash for decades after I had four titanium pins placed in my jaw. I have always used it undiluted, but after a few minutes, I thoroughly rinse my mouth and brush my teeth. Also, you may have purchased the wrong solution because there are stronger varients. You should only use the 3% solution and dilute 1 part peroxide to 2 parts water. If you already have the 1.5% solution, you do not need to dilute it.
Could you do a list of the best non toxic products for germ killing in kitchen sink, tubs? My kids are lungs are sensitive to cleaning products plus I am environmentally conscious ❤❤❤
I avoid doing best of lists, because i test so many products, that list changes continuously! I have a playlist for less toxic products that might help you.
fantastic, happy I saw this one. Another one is 1 tsp of a bleach that contains both ingredients (i think it needs the sodium hypochlorite? , theres two..one disinfects and one whitens so you need the one that contains both sodiums..if that makes sense. I use 1 tsp per 32 ounces of water in a spray bottle...I wonder how that shows up?
I will add that to my viewer suggestion list!
First time watching.....
Interesting channel 🤔
Thank you!!

I love your chanell! You deserve more subscibers for sure! ❤
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words! Hopefully my channel keeps growing!!
I love hydrogen peroxide. I’m interested if the Microban 24 hour sanitizing spray really works. I vote the for the next video :)
I agree! I have many viewer requests for bacterial testing and will add Microban to my list! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
I love your channel! Have you identified which types of bacteria are destroyed by each disinfectant? I have bad reactions near mold and whatever else grows in the garbage disposal. I clean it, but still react when water goes down the drain.
For now I am not identifying the bacteria. It whatever environmental bacteria is in my home. Sorry to hear you have had bad reactions!
That’s what I was wondering too! Like I was intensely curious as to what the HP was not killing in the sink lol. Or if it was a surface issue. Or a material issue, like porous or ceramic vs porcelain or what.
WOW! I've learned something new, today.
Thanks, hunny!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks!
Thank you so very much!! I truly appreciate your support!!! ❤️😊
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing your results.

Vid was very well made nice job
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words!!
The peroxide you get at Walgreen's, etc. is very diluted. Food-grade would probably kill everything. I would like to see a test of colloidal silver, which is supposed to be a universal microbiocide.
Good point! I will add Food Grade H2O2 to my suggestion list! I did some different testing with colloidal silver here: ruclips.net/video/tDiayzgDnts/видео.html Thanks for watching!
Fun fact, if u add a drop of hydrogen peroxide to bacterial colonies, some of them will begin to bubble! This is called the catalase test. This is a common test to help identify bacteria. staphylococci are catalase positive (will bubble) and streptococci are catalase negative (won’t bubble). Cheers!
YES!! That is a fun test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking about this video and I remembered reading elsewhere that hydrogen peroxide reacts with a lot of metals and it led me to wonder if it might break down more quickly on some metal surfaces as well. Just wondering if that seems plausible to you. In that case, I wonder if it might help to come back and spray the area again after 5 minutes or to use a 6% concentration on those surfaces.
Edit: I realize your bathroom sink isn't metal, but I thought you may have swabbed the outer part of the drain. It's a bit hard to tell in the video.
Interesting thought. I will look into H2O2 and reactions with metal... Always good to consider every possibility! Thanks for watching!!
Please do a cleaning video on baking soda
Hi! So I did include baking soda in the Toilet Bowl Cleaner video as well as the video about Cleaning My Messy Stovetop. I would love to continue to test out Baking Soda and will add it to my list of viewer requests. Right now I have 20 view requests, so I will get to it, it just takes time for me to get through growing the bacteria, and letting the surfaces get dirty again for more testing! Thank you for the suggestion! Any particular ways you would like to see it tested?
Were the swabs, painter's tape, wiping towel, spray bottle, your hands, and the collection tray sterilized before you began collecting the samples? Any bacteria on those will affect the results of both the before and after samples. In addition, the ambient air in the room and your breath can also contaminate the immediate environment. Also, any particles in the air coming from an A/C vent would be a variable. It would be interesting to see the results after performing the same test over the course of several days.
The swabs are sterile and are purchased sterile, I wash my hands before each swab.. but this is my home not a lab... . I have a disclaimer in the description section "
*******DISCLAIMER: All of the bacterial experiments that I perform are conducted in my home which does not have the same conditions as a laboratory, and is for entertainment only.*******" I am conducting these experiments in my home, not a sterile controlled lab. Take what you want leave what you want. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate your concern and wish I could have a lab in my home, but that just isn't my reality. I can perform the same test over a few days and will add that to my viewer request list. Right now I have about 60 requests so will do my best!
@@FieldOfFocus Thanks for telling me about the disclaimer. I didn't see it before. My post was not intended to discredit your tests, but merely to point out a few variables that would affect the outcome. I think it's great you did this. Even though it was not done in a lab, it proves that no matter how clean we believe our homes are, bacteria can be found everywhere, with some areas being worse than others. After I watched your video, I went to the kitchen to set up our coffee maker. As I was doing so, your video was fresh in my memory, so I grabbed a Lysol wipe and thoroughly wiped down that whole area. It also moved me to wonder how we even manage to survive with so much bacteria covering everything around us. Some say some bacteria is good while other kinds are harmful, especially when it comes to bacteria in our mouths. It's just too bad they are not visible to the naked eye....like color-coded or something. LOL But then again, that would probably just freak us all out. I wonder if God thought so, as well, when He was creating them. Hmmmm
@@grinning_owl I agree! Some bacteria is good for us (gut bacteria) some are harmful.. so keeping a balance is best. I can't imagine if we could see the bacteria! That would be a riot and I think people would be horrified of where it turns up!! HA!
@@FieldOfFocusyes and most of us are cleaning in our homes and not a lab. 😊
Great video, just wanted to point out that the moving painters tape probably contaminated your bathroom sink dish sample. The tape moved and you dabbed the paper towel on the surface under the tape(obviously unintentionally while you were just trying to dry the intended swab area) and then redabbed the same towel on the same side of the towel on the surface that you swabbed for the sample. I'm no doctor but to me it seems clear, that this is the source of the bacteria in the A-region of the bathroom sink dish. It cant really be assumed that the surface under the tape was uniformly coated with peroxide, and/or for the same amount of time as the intended test surface. Unless of course you resprayed the area off-camera, after the tape moved, then that would obviously change my opinion. Regardless! Glad I saw this, I've never seen this before.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I have a love -hate relationship with that marking tape!! It is nice to show viewers the spot I am testing, but in a slippery sink it is just not feasible to keep it in place! I stopped using it in the sink for my other videos. Thanks for your thoughts!
I think if you washed the kitchen & bathroom sinks with soap first to remove the scum, the hydrogen peroxide would be able to be more effective. It worked best on a non-scummy surface like the counter and toilet seat.
Possibly.. when I test a product I do one product at time to see what it alone can do.
i'm new to the channel so you may have answered this, but do you think the results would be different if you waited longer than 5 min (for those areas that did have some, albeit reduce bacterial growth)? Also, have you done vinegar and / or vinegar and H202?
Time could be a factor of course. I have a re-do of Hydrogen peroxide (I will link it) and I have tested Vinegar as well.

The problem with using hydrogen peroxide as a household cleaner is that it is a corrosive agent. The common form is only 3% concentration, it's 97% water. and it's still very corrosive. It can easily damage appliances, furniture, all sorts of things, especially anything liable to rust. I like using it to clean tile floors though. also your mouth.
Thanks for your thoughts!
I've heard great things about the Awesome Cleaner from the dollar store. Wondered if you wouldn't mind adding it to your list of tests 😀
I will add it to my list! Thanks for watching!
@@FieldOfFocus For clarity, apparently it's called "La's Totally Awesome Cleaner". Thank you so much!!
Can you do this test with mold? I keep hearing that it can kill mold but the company doesn't say so for it's uses.
I haven't tested mold because I don't have a reliable source of it.. If and when I do, i will test.
@@FieldOfFocus you can take a stick and put it in a cup of wet soil. Then put it in a bag or put another cup over it so it's humid. I ask because I that's how I root cuttings and I get mold all the time. I spray with the hydrogen peroxide but it just keeps coming back. So I don't know if it really kills it or not.
Have you ever tested peroxide mixed with dishwashing liquid to remove bacteria? Or even vinegar with dishwashing liquid. I would love to hear your thoughts on this
I have not tested H2O2 with dishsoap, but I have tested Vinegar and dishsoap here: Testing Vinegar! What Removes Bacteria Better:Full Strength, 50/50 Dish Soap or 50/50 Water?? #clean ruclips.net/video/9CKWda1vW5Q/видео.html
@@FieldOfFocus would consider testing H2O2 with dishwashing liquid to see how it disinfects?
So mixing hydrogen peroxide with water - would clearly dilute the effects of it? And the kitchen sink - is this because the sink is metal?
I made this video a few years ago and I don't remember, but I might re-visit H2O2 this winter.
Hi I love ur videos can u try witch hazel for surface cleaning
Interesting suggestion! I will add that to my viewer suggestion list!!
NICE!!!!
Thanks for watching!!
i've seen a few of these videos, nicely done ... what was the best cost-effective solution to clean disinfect with overall for simple folk?
It really depends on what you like to use in your home. I have not done any cost analysis yet so hard to say which is the most cost effective. I will add that to my viewer suggestion list.
I don't put HP in a spray bottle; it looses its potency - needs to stay in the brown/dark bottle! - I pour it directly on the surfaces and clean with a cloth. I use it all around my home and also in my office at work.
That sounds good. I did spray for this test and put it in a bottle that you saw was wrapped in blue tape for just the quick duration of the test. Thanks for watching!
I heard that vodka works on soft surfaces to disinfect or sanitize would you please test it? I love your videos ❤
Will add it to my viewer suggestion list!
Love your videos! I also got sucked into binge-watching your videos after the Bissell video. I’m surprised that the hydrogen peroxide worked so well on your toilet! I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind making a video or short about how hydrogen peroxide works in your toilet bowl (not just the seat!)?
I am so glad you are enjoying my videos!! Great idea to test hydrogen peroxide in the toilet bowl, I will add that to my list!! Thank you for the suggestion!
So what specifically is the take away for hydrogen peroxide testing? That it works on certain bacteria but not others? Or is it the surfaces that it works better on than others? I’m psyched as all get out that it did a perfect job in the toilet lol. Hydrogen peroxide wouldn’t aggravate someone’s asthma I don’t think, not like a product containing bleach might. Also on the countertops, yay! I crush pills on a section of kitchen counter and use antibacterial wipes but I worry about residue and end up wiping a second time with a paper towel and plain water. I’ll be using HP more often now for SURE.
I made this video a few years ago so I don't remember my exact results sorry.

That is possible. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been binging your videos. Great content. Seems alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are great disinfectants for most surfaces. Toilet bowls seem to not be as disinfected by those two. What’s your recommendation for an effective natural bowl cleaner? Thank you 😄

Hey hi great video , but im wondering if you really did any justice to the hydrogen peroxide testing considering that its only 6% strength ? Can you possibly do a higher strength test. Such as 15% or 35 % which one can order online..
Hi there! I just chose that concentration of H2O2 because it is easily found in stores. I will add stronger concentrations to my viewer suggestion list! Thank you for watching and commenting!
You'd better wear gloves (personal experience). I bought 12% solution and used it with papertowel, no gloves and my finger tips to first joint turned white and started burning, they also got sticky. washed with soap and water, but stingy for a while. I used water to reduce the concentration to 3%, still will turn fingers white, but not as bad, use gloves.
I was wondering about best thing to use to kill or remove black mold. I heard Hydrogen peroxide is best to use first. Then bleach.
Use strong white vinegar. It will reach below surface on permeable surfaces. Bleach kills only on surface.
I haven’t tested black mold because luckily I do not have a reliable source of it. So I cannot say. But I think if I had a mold issue I would try Force of Nature.
Do you think the type of surface affected the outcome? Example: The toilet was porcelain and hydrogen peroxide with a great job.
It could be surface or type of bacteria.
Need test wich is better peroxide or rubbing alcohol at killing germs

Amazing. What do you think about treating infected wounds with this? I just used it on a wound of mine and a lot of white bubbled came out from it.
Hi there! I think Hydrogen Peroxide is great for treating wounds. If I remember correctly the white bubbles are just an enzyme reaction with your skin. Thanks for watching and I hope your wound is healing.
Das Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt zu Wasser und Sauerstoff. Der Sauerstoff reagiert mit den pathogenen Bakterien in ihrer entzündeten Wunde. Die Bakterienhüllen zerreißen dabei und das Bakterium ist tot. Der entstehende Sauerstoff bildet kleine Schaumblasen.
Solange viele Schaumblasen entstehen, solange sind viele pathogene Erreger in ihrer Wunde. Deshalb mehrmals täglich anwenden, bis alles gut verheilt ist.
Bad for the skin and wounds. The white bubbling will be damaging skin tissue. It burns and stings. Try this: put some on your hand/a finger. Leave it on a few minutes before rinsing. Next day you'll have peeling skin. Happens to me when I don't use gloves when wiping off surfaces with a paper towel that becomes saturated. Or if I spray something and get overspray on my hand and don't notice until it begins to sting and turn white where it was. For wounds just use soap and water.
Have you done a “microwave a wet sponge to kill bacteria before doing dishes” test?
Hi there! I have started this test a few times, each time I don't have bacteria growth on my sponge for the before.. so I have to keep working on this one.
Warum legen sie den Schwamm nicht in Wasserstoffperoxid?
Hi. These are great videos. I would like to make a suggestion. The way I use hydrogen peroxide is the 2 spray bottle technique. One contains Hydrogen peroxide and the other contains white vinegar. I spray either one first, coating the surface pretty well, and then immediately spray the other one on that wet surface. It is the chemical reaction of the mixing that does the disinfecting. I suppose waiting a few minutes is in order before wiping it off. Putting both products in the same bottle defeats the purpose. I would love to see you give that a try. Thank you
Thank you for your thoughts! I will add it to my viewer suggestion list!
I think you are just supposed to let it just dry by itself after using the two spray bottle technique she described above.
Great info 😄
Just discovered your channel and finding it so worthwhile! H2O2 seems to work better on dry surfaces. For AFTER samples, what if you were to first wipe it dry with a paper towel (with or w/o H2O2), then spray with H2O2? Do you think that would make a difference?
Interesting point! I am not sure if wet vs dry surfaces would show any difference! When I circle back to re-testing, I will consider this! Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
H202 works best at killing spores or weakening an infection in the human body to better allow the immune system to deal with it. Its actually quite poor against living fungus or bacteria. It will stunt them but they come back with no long term damage.
Curious question: Why did you wait 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes to allow the solution to disinfect? The CDC recommends 10 minutes to disinfect all microbes except spores with hydrogen peroxide. Just curious, thank you.
Hi there! So my bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide did not have any directions for using it as a household disinfectant. So what I did was look at other products that have hydrogen peroxide in them as active ingredient and most had a 5 minute wait time so that is what I used. I can always run it again with a longer time or with a precleaning with soap.. lots of options to test out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@FieldOfFocus thanks for responding! Perhaps those products using accelerated hydrogen peroxide which works much faster 🤔 anyway I would be interested in watching a video where 10 minutes was used. I used HP all the time to clean everything and your video was one of the few I could find like it! Thanks for posting 👍🏻
@@brittanygillon4049 thanks for your kind words. Great thought that those products could have had accelerated hydrogen peroxide. I will most certainly add the 10 min wait time to my list!!
Plating brings back fond memories. 😁🧫🔬
😊
Suggestion just for my own curiosity: Hydrogen Peroxide 3% vs. Isopropyl 70-99% vs. Mrs. Meyers.
I'm curious about how they compete. It would also be interesting to note how cost-effective (on my end) each method would be.
Will add to my suggestion list thanks!
Did you use straight hydrogen peroxide or did you dilute it?

or are those two chemicals you shouldn't mix? or do they negate each other?
Thank you for your exceptionally helpful channel :)
A happy new subscriber.
Hi there!! I do not know of any negative impacts for mixing hydrogen peroxide and alcohol, but I will dig a bit to make sure that is true. If they are ok together, it would make a good solution to test!! Thank you for watching, commenting, and subbing!
@@FieldOfFocus Thank you :)
You got there first, i was about to add a 'PS'
about homemade Paracetic Acid. Hopefully that'll make for a good test too.
Thanks for the reply.
I think mixing would be fine, I know on skin that's how my mother would clean pretty bad knee scrapes when we were younger first peroxide then she'd put alcohol.
@@leahrodriquez1349 I've never done that, that's interesting. Thanks :)
@@GabrielKnightz I know my mom would know alcohol like peroxide kills germs, so I guess some would say it's over kill to use both but I believe she would say mainly using the peroxide to clean it out and the alcohol more for like little longer continued keeping germs at bay but if I remember correctly the alcohol mainly for her was to help dry out boo boos out faster so will scrab to heal quicker instead of leaving the bad scrapes oozy like. Lol hope I make sense.
But you are physically removing bacteria by spraying and wiping. Maybe I missed this video, but did you observe colony reduction by spraying with plain water and then wiping?
Here are videos on wiping with no cleaners so you can compare:

So soap is better than peroxide overall
This was so many years ago I can't remember... I test so many products!!
Can you test good ‘ol comet scouring powder
Hi there! I did test Comet in my Toilet bowl, you can watch that here

How do different areas make any difference unless the surfaces are of different porosity? Just saying to allow product to absorb into or not... like ive heard that if you have moldy wood then bleach will only clean the surface but will still continue to mold from spores inside. But peroxide will actually get into those areas where the mold did and kill it.. but a plastic or melamine surface will be the same surface no matter where it is. Only some places it will have more bacterial growth than others.. so these different tests will only be clarification onto which types of bacteria peroxide will kill in the 5 minute window.. unless the bacteria are determined these tests will go on and seem to have mixed results throughout your testing even if you tested the same area over and over, each would be different unless you managed to get the same type of bacteria in the same areas every time..
Hi there! So various areas in the home have different type of bacteria on them. Example in the bathroom the toilet would have more exposure to E.Coli (from fecal matter) and perhaps the kitchen has more exposure to salmonella (chicken and eggs) etc. You make a great point that various surfaces do have different levels of being porous, which most certainly could impact the bacteria there. For my channel I do have this disclaimer on every video “DISCLAIMER: All of the bacterial experiments that I perform are conducted in my home which does not have the same conditions as a laboratory, and is for entertainment only.” I am not trying to replicate a laboratory setting where we get a vial of B.Subtilis and inoculate a surface then test a cleaner. I am testing how cleaners work in a real world setting of my home, which does not have the same controls that a lab (knowing the type of bacteria present) would have. I don’t have a way to test if a cleaner can be absorbed into wood to clean mold.. I just don’t. If I come up with a way to test that I will most certainly perform it. But for now, I am just testing household cleaners in real life situations where you do not know what types of bacteria are present. I appreciate your watching and commenting. Thank you.
Can we use hydrogen peroxide diluted 50/50 with water to clean the inside of your ears, for wax etc?
I think the ear cleaning out stuff at the store has hydrogen peroxide... so you could run it by your practitioner. 😬
Wasserstoffperoxid darf nicht in Körperhöhlen gelangen! Stellen sie deshalb sicher, daß sie keine Löcher im Trommelfell haben!!,
Ich habe es noch nicht ausprobiert. Aber die Konzentration gegen Ohrenschmalz sollte wahrscheinlich sehr sehr gering sein! Bitte informieren sie sich!
Could you test the shower using hydrogen proxide please? Ty!
I will add it to my viewer suggestion list!
Love your videos! Thank you! I appreciate you!
Do you do or will you do videos about cleaning specific items or places/things such as cleaning a mattress, dusting, cleaning makeup brushes and sponges and what’s the best cleaner or cleaning method to use? I have turned into a bigger germaphobe and I’m OCD lol
Alcohol
Pledge “clean it” antibacterial multi-surface cleaner
Borax
What’s the best for mold and spores? May I email you please?
Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so very much for your support!! I have a list of about 20 viewer suggestions so I most certain appreciate all the suggestions given and will one by one get to them! I love your idea about mattress, dust, etc... great ideas! I did just purchase a Bissell Upholstery Cleaner and I am HOPING to test that out today! You can most certainly email me: field.of.focusyt@gmail.com or join my Patreon page (links are in descriptions of my videos) to help me grow my community and give me input for future videos! Take Care!!
@Field of Focus
When do you turn 75?
😐
Lol. Probably in 40 years!
I use it to gargle with every day
Thanks for sharing!
Weren't you supposed to wait 10 minutes as stated by the EPA?
I can add that wait time to my viewer suggestion list! Thanks!
Thanks- you didn’t say what strength of Hydrogen Peroxide was used.
Yep it is at 1:14 mark
Hydrogen peroxide vs mold pls. Thanks
Hi there! So I do not have the ability to test mold right now. I don't have any moldy places in my home, however if I ever end up with mold somewhere I will test it. Thank you for watching!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you for watching! 😀
☝️… how about a test- of hydrogen peroxide (in water) for disinfecting produce 🍎 🥦?…
That is on my list of things to test!
@@FieldOfFocus … thank you for your VALUABLE contribution(s) to “home schooling”- sweet lady… WE appreciate you!- and value your good works…
35 percent diluted with distilled water 5 part water 1 part 35 percent food grade h202
Thanks for your thoughts!
What about 12% hydrogen peroxide?
Haven't tested it yet! So I cannot say!
But tapes moved.
I have a love -hate relationship with that marking tape!! It is nice to show viewers the spot I am testing, but in a slippery sink it is just not feasible to keep it in place! I stopped using it in the sink for my other videos. Thanks for your thoughts!
are you using 3%
1:14 in you will see.
