“We soak them in a 5 or 10% solution of hydrogen peroxide. (Diluted from 50%) “
Where do you buy 50% Peroxide? That’s almost weapon grade.
I asked my former supervisor at the hospital laundry if I could buy some of the 35% hydrogen peroxide to use in my garden (it works well at 2 1/2% to remove powdery mildew) and was told that he cannot allow it out of the building, as it is so reactive and can be used for, shall we say, nefarious purposes.
Apparently the gov’t doesn’t want this stuff in the public’s possession.
Hardly weapon grade. Rocket fuel is 90%. 35 and 50% are used in agriculture, and it is available from some agricultural suppliers. My source buys it in truckload quantities.
We also use it as sanitizer instead of chlorine in our swimming pool.
