Is it safe to use 5% hydrogen peroxide in place of 3%?

[Eli]

For like cuts, mouth wash(diluted), etc?

It says to wash skin thoroughly if contacted on the bottle, lol...

I don't know, eli. I just don't know.

i can check what % mine is when i get home in 20 mins or so.
whatever the percent is, ive used it in my mouth many times and not had any problems.

EDIT: its 3%

What do they dilute it with, probably just water eh? I'm sure you could make a 3% solution pretty easily if you are that worried.

Yeah, just water.

I suppose you're right, but I'm not good with ratios and all that jazz...lol

So if you had 8oz of 5% solution, how much water would you add to make it 3%? lol...

That would give 2.5%, right?

Yes you can, but I haven't heard of 5% hydrogen peroxide grade before. Food grade is 35% hydrogen peroxide, and can be use in all application that 3% do, however you have to dilute it.

What do you think the liquid that is commonly use to dilute H2O2?

H_2_0


Depends what they are trying to weaken..the H or the O.



One question..anyways to get that ICKY Peroxide taste out of your mouth? It lasts for days. I ususally just leave my toothbrush in a glass with the Peroxide, because using it as mouthwash is nasty as hell😀
