I meant bleaching a meowmeow cat, not the other kind.

The stuff they use in beauty parlors is stronger than 3%, my bottle of Clairol Pure White calls itself "20 volume," not sure if that means 20% or what. Regular hydrogen peroxide might work on blondes, I don't know, but you've got to use stronger stuff to bleach brunettes, that's why all the kids these days have orangey bleached hair.

Eventually it just turns to water.

I wonder if you could use it to bleach stains out of clothes?

You can use it to disinfect soil when growing mushrooms:

You can use it to purify drinking water:

It can be used to kill bacteria in your kitchen, especially when used together with vinegar (don't mix them, apply separately, a spray mist works good)

It can be used to remove red scale (copper scale) from metals, "copper, brass, bronze, nickel silver, reticulation silver and some gold alloys. It will remove the copper coating from silver that has been accidentally pickled in an iron contaminated acid. Curiously, it will also remove the natural oxide layer found on aluminum."

"Hydrogen Peroxide 1.5%, 3% and 6% solutions are used as deodorants and disinfectants for the cleansing of wounds. The sterile solutions are indicated for irritation of deep wounds or surgical sites, eg during brain or hip surgery.
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution can also be used for cleaning and disinfection of contaminated work surfaces, hydrophilic soft contact lenses or ventilators."

If you get your ears pierced and they get infected, you can pour hydrogen peroxide on them and it bubbles up and fizzes.
That's fun.
