Gargling with Peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical agent, usually represented chemically as H 2 O 2. It is commonly found in kitchens and bathroom products for the purpose of disinfection. They are also used for clearing off and sanitization of minor cuts.

Store-bought bottles are usually a 3-percent solution and are safe for oral use.
