I've used hydrogen peroxide for all of those things you listed plus for cleaning my earings and sometimes other jewelry.

This is one of my favorite uses for H. peroxide. I mix it with water used for plants. It provides oxygen to the roots. This boost of oxygen will speed the growth of the plant. Similar to using CO2.

You are right that hydrogen peroxide has many uses! Nurses have long known that the best thing to remove blood from white uniforms is hydrogeon peroxide! It is actually great to use on any stain of an organic nature (grass stains, blood, soil, etc.) As for wounds, some newer research is showing that hydrogen peroxide is very harsh on new tissue that is trying to grown in a healing wound, so it should always be diluted when used. An often overlooked use for hydrogen peroxide is watering house plants! The outdoor plants get hydrogen peroxide from rainwater and that is why they thrive so much better than indoor plants. Add about an ounce of hydrogen peroxide to a quart of water and use this mixture to water your indoor plants and they will love you!
