Does hydrogen peroxide stop foaming when all the infection is gone.?

The foam has nothing to do with infection. Your blood contains a chemical called peroxidase which breaks down peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide. This is what causes the foam. The reason hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant is that peroxides in general are very bad for living things. The thing that makes it even better is that you can tolerate it a lot better than bacteria can, because your cells can make peroxidase and unicellular organisms for the most part can't.


What will happen if you mix a chemical with a hydrogen peroxide?

Nothing too bad! When I bleach my hair, I put a little hydrogen peroxide in with the mix. I see a difference in whiteness when I do and don't use hydrogen peroxide. It gets it a lot whiter. However, hydrogen peroxide is DAMAGING to hair! If you're going to use it, poke a small hole in the film of a new bottle and only use a couple squirts! You have to be careful, because it can damage your hair and scalp. Keep and eye on it. And when you're done bleaching, deep condition the hell out of your hair! Good luck!
