Hydrogen peroxide - 6/12/2005 9:52:06 PM    Tony14 Posts: 2462 Joined: 2/15/2005 From: Fond du Lac, Wisconsin Status: offline Has anyone ever tried hydrogen peroxide for cleaning bottles? I have heard it works for cleaning stains off bottles, I am going to try it on some common ones first. Just wondering if anyone else has any experiance with it. Post #: 1

RE: Hydrogen peroxide - 6/13/2005 10:59:21 PM    Tony14 Posts: 2462 Joined: 2/15/2005 From: Fond du Lac, Wisconsin Status: offline IT ACTUALLY WORKED. I left it soak for 3 days and it removed the white stains that soap and water couldn't. There must be some type of chemical in the stuff that reacts with the mineral deposites on the glass. < Message edited by Tony14 -- 7/2/2005 9:14:53 PM > (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 3

I have dipped one of mine in a strong % HCL acid solution for seven hours or so, and the stains still would not come out. I may give this a shot now.

I haven't used it on glass yet, I'll have to give it a go myself now . (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 5

I've been meaning to visit a large museum and getting in touch with a restoration person for better paper restor. techniques. Ahhhhhh one of these days. I have a cobalt WAKELEE'S CAMELLINE with the toughest milky stain you've ever seen. I'll have to try the peroxide. Lobey. (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 6

RE: Hydrogen peroxide - 9/5/2005 8:22:23 AM    monalisa Posts: 104 Joined: 8/21/2005 Status: offline Hi, I have also tried Peroxide for stains, it has worked well with some and not so well with others. My experience usually tells me that it depends on the stain... I have used clay kitty litter w/peroxide(shaken lightly) to clean the inside of some diggs with some real nice results. A squeeze of a ripe lemon (for the juice) and a cap full of kitty litter in a plastic bag for a few days has also worked well. The clay works as an asorbant and the acid of the lemon juice is a great cleaner. Add a 000 grade steel wool pad to rub the stains slightly...Again, depends on the stains. NOT to be used for bottles w/paper lables.......Good Luck, Mike (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 9
