1. Hydrogen Peroxide
You’ll find hydrogen peroxide in your first aid section of your local store and for really cheap. It is most widely used as an antiseptic for small wounds, and is oh so fun to watch bubble as it kills those germs. You can use it as a mouthwash when diluted properly and can be dropped into the ear canal to help break up large pieces of ear wax, prevent swimmers ear, and treat painful ear infections. A definite for your cabinet!
