Frequently Asked Question
Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide FAQs
What Is Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide?
Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is a powerful disinfectant cleaner that combines hydrogen peroxide with silver ions. This formula is designed to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other harmful germs, while silver helps stabilise the solution, making it more effective and longer-lasting. Also, Forsana's Enhanced hydrogen peroxide is high quality, has over 200 clinical tests, and is 8 times more effective than standard hydrogen peroxide.
What makes Forsana's Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide different from standard Hydrogen Peroxide?
Standard hydrogen peroxide is effective but can degrade quickly. Forsana's Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide includes silver ions that stabilise the solution, making it more effective and long-lasting. Additionally, our formula is of the highest quality, with over 200 clinical tests, and is proven to be up to 8 times more effective than standard hydrogen peroxide. It's also one of the most environmentally friendly solutions, protecting your family's health while being gentle on the environment.
How does Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide work?
When applied to surfaces, Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, releasing active oxygen that destroys harmful microorganisms. The silver ions boost its stability and effectiveness by preventing bacterial regrowth.
Is Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide safe for use around my family and pets?
Yes! Our Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is free from harsh chemicals like chlorine, alcohol, and synthetic fragrances, making it safe to use around children and pets. It's also food-safe, so you can use it to clean kitchen surfaces and utensils with peace of mind.
Where can I purchase Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide?
Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is available for purchase on Forsana's official website or at select retailers. For more information on where to buy our products, visit our store locator page.
Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide vs Bleach: What's the difference?
Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is a safer, eco-friendly alternative to bleach, offering powerful disinfecting without harmful chemicals. It breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no toxic residue, while bleach can release dangerous fumes, damage surfaces, and harm the environment. Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is as effective but much gentler on you and your home.
Do you still sell 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and 6% Hydrogen Peroxide
Yes, we do! Our Everyday Cleaner is Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide 3%, and our Power Cleaner is Hydrogen Peroxide 6%. We've updated the names to be more consumer-friendly, with specific formulas for cleaning, plant care, and water treatment. Please note: the Everyday Cleaner can be used for plant care but may not be as effective as our specific Plant Care Plus formula.
Why does Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide Bubble?
Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide bubbles when it comes into contact with organic material like dirt, bacteria, or blood. This bubbling occurs because the hydrogen peroxide is breaking down into water and oxygen, releasing oxygen gas in the process. The bubbles are a sign that it's actively working to clean and disinfect!
Can you mix Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide with Baking Soda?
Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can be combined to create an effective non-toxic oven cleaner. They can also be added to our power cleaner to enhance lime scale and soap scum removal in showers. Additionally, they work well as a pre-treatment for slippery tile floors.
What should you not mix Hydrogen Peroxide?
Please don't mix it with vinegar.Mixing hydrogen peroxide with vinegar creates a corrosive acid, which can cause harm to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. It is safe to use these substances on surfaces in consecutive doses, but do not mix them together within a single bottle.
Will Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide Harm my septic system?
No—Hydrogen Peroxide is 100% Biodegradable. Septic systems need "aerobic bacteria" to survive, and these types of bacteria grow best in an oxygen-rich environment. Rather than chlorine or bleach, which removes oxygen, Hydrogen Peroxide adds it. Therefore, manual addition of H2O2 is often done to septic and wastewater systems to prevent smells.
How does Forsana's Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide compare to other silver-stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide?
Forsana's Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is made from a patented European formula with global accreditation, proven effective for over 40 years and backed by over 200 clinical tests. It delivers superior performance compared to other silver-stabilised hydrogen peroxide products, making it a trusted and powerful solution for safe, eco-friendly cleaning.
Do you sell 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide?
Hydrogen peroxide at a 35% concentration is classified as a dangerous good and cannot be shipped through regular courier services. At Forsana, the safety of our customers is paramount. Therefore, we only offer 3% enhanced hydrogen peroxide, labelled 'Every Day Cleaner', and 6% enhanced hydrogen peroxide as our 'Power Cleaner'. Also, Forsana's Enhanced hydrogen peroxide is high quality, has over 200 clinical tests, and is eight times more effective than standard hydrogen peroxide. For commercial use please contact us at hello@forsana.com
Can Forsana Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide kill Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Yes, Forsana's Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide is proven to kill 99.99% of both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, including coronavirus and norovirus. It's highly effective for both surface disinfection and whole-room disinfection (fogging). In fact, Forsana's European formula was used extensively during the COVID-19 pandemic in hospitals for both surface and whole-room disinfection, demonstrating its powerful performance.
Do you offer larger sizes and different strengths of Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide for commercial use?
Yes, we do! Please contact us directly at hello@forsana.com and let us know your requirements. We'll be happy to assist with larger sizes and different strengths for commercial use.
Will there be silver residue left on my surfaces after using Forsana’s enhanced hydrogen peroxide?
Forsana’s Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide uses silver ions at very low concentrations—often measured in parts per million (ppm)—which is similar to the trace minerals found in natural spring water. The silver content is just enough to keep the solution stable and effective. Once the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, any remaining silver is so minimal that it’s practically invisible and well within safe guidelines for people and pets.
So, while it’s there to keep your surfaces fresh and clean, the amount of silver left is incredibly small, giving you a powerful, safe clean without any lingering residue.

What’s the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?
Cleaning removes dirt, dust, and impurities from surfaces, but it doesn't necessarily kill germs. Disinfecting, on the other hand, kills germs like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Forsana Everyday Cleaner does both—cleaning surfaces while also disinfecting to protect your home from harmful microorganisms.
Can I use the Everyday Cleaner and Power Cleaner for other hydrogen peroxide uses?
Yes! Both Forsana Everyday Cleaner(3% Hydrogen Peroxide) and Power Cleaner (6% Hydrogen Peroxide) can be used for other common hydrogen peroxide applications. It is made from high-purity food-grade hydrogen peroxide and is suitable for all your household uses. Whether it’s for cleaning, plants, personal care, pet hygiene, or other tasks, you can count on Forsana for exceptional quality.
Why should I choose Forsana over plant-based or tablet-based cleaners?

Forsana’s Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide goes further, delivering powerful, deep cleaning and germ-killing with the natural properties of oxygen—without any nasty chemicals. Forsana kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, mould, and even foodborne and waterborne diseases, including coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2), E. coli, Listeria, Norovirus, and Salmonella. Breaking down into just water and oxygen, it leaves no residue, is fragrance-free, and safe for the whole family, including pets and asthma- and allergy sufferers. Forsana keeps your home clean and protected, while staying gentle on the planet. Making it your trusted clean for a healthier home.
Is It Safe to Use Forsana Cleaning Products Without Gloves?
Forsana Everyday Cleaner (3% Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide) is safe to use without gloves for most people. However, hydrogen peroxide, a key ingredient, can occasionally cause temporary irritation, dryness, or harmless white spots due to oxygen being trapped under the skin. These effects typically fade within a few hours. If you have sensitive skin or any concerns, we recommend wearing gloves as a precaution.
Due to the higher concentration of Forsana Power Cleaner (6% Enhanced Hydrogen Peroxide), we strongly recommend wearing gloves at all times.
Skin Care: After cleaning, wash your hands thoroughly with a gentle soap and apply a moisturiser to help restore the skin's natural barrier. Regular skin creams can keep the skin hydrated and reduce the risk of irritation.
To minimise risk, ensure good ventilation, wear protective gloves if needed, and wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning. Your safety is our priority—reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance!
