Just a note on the properties of Hydrogen Peroxide.  From my safety training for
work at a surface mine back when I was just out of high school, we were informed
that  HP in concentrations above 5 or 10 percent will cause organic matter to
combust after a period of time related to concentration.  Eg.  A 10 percent
solution dripped on your leather shoe at the start of your shift will burst into
flame just as you start filling your car with Gasoline at lunch.  Higher
Concentrations will simply melt through everything up to the chemical resistant
sole of your boot.  What you buy at the store is 3% and safe, But still really bad
stuff.
