Does hydrogen peroxide kill C-Diff Spores?

As a 2nd option, and for things that you might not be able to use bleach, such as the colored cloth or material such as chairs, or a rug, carpet.

And here is a crazy thought, may be used on hands as a hand sanitizer?

Looks like the AHP (accelerated hydrogen peroxide) might kill the C-Diff?

Theres many things that will kill c.diff.
Household bleach is the only one recomended for use in the home.
It's cheap, effective and safe if used as instructed.

Hydrogen peroxide is not good to pour on fabrics and carpets. It, too, will change the color and bleach to an extent. Not as much as bleach, but it does change colors of fabrics.

There are several products that kill Cdiff , and can be used on fabric without getting the color changes . One is a sporcidal solution named Antigone that can be ordered on-line which i am using when i'm trying to clean my hospital clothes.

Thanks, Georgina, I cannot find anything called Antigone, may be called something else?

It's kinda' difficult to obtain it , not available on sites like Amazon . It's made for hospital use , but it can be ordered on-line , at least in my country . I do not know another name , but you can search it based on it's ingredients : quaternary ammonium salts and biguanide compounds . It's a quick action desifectant detergent , highly concentrated , kills spores and biofilms in 1 minute and doesn't change color if it's used on fabric.
