hydrogen peroxide
Fizzing antiseptic liquid
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen, commonly used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent.
The familiar drugstore solution bubbles on contact with wounds, killing bacteria.
Stronger concentrations bleach hair, whiten teeth, and have industrial applications.
She dabbed hydrogen peroxide on the cut.
