The important thing to remember with this mix is that hydrogen peroxide breaks down to oxygen and water with any contamination. You're advised to pour some of the mix into a small container and don't pour it back into the large one if you don't use it all. Just a bit of iron from your blood acts as a catalyst in the mix and will break all the peroxide down (ditto the sunlight).

I used this stuff this weekend...it seemed to work fine (although I didn't get anything!!). One thing I did notice, though....it lightened our hair!! I'll look a little odd back at the office on Monday...

Good luck!

tarheel: Spray it on your clothes next time.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Tarheel says it lightened up his hair, which isn't suprising since it has peroxide in it. When I do a search on peroxide, I see it will also lighten cotton fabrics. I don't think any of us want our expensive camo bleached out. Any thoughts on this? Is enough applied to do anything? Anyone else try this receipt?

Couple thoughts on this stuff.

1. I used the green hair and body wash on the batch I made. This type of soap is pretty sudsy. I'd probably make my next batch with a more liquified sport wash for clothes.

2. One of the questions above inquired about floresence of baking soda. Perhaps we should use a soap that eliminates UV brighteners.

3. I tested this stuff on my work tennis shoes. I've got to tell ya, I wear these shoes on roofs where the surface temp in the summer can easily top 120 degrees. I normally rotate 3 pairs while wearing double socks. These things can get RIPE! I sprayed them down with the batch I made and have to say, they are odorless. Still can't get the wife to take a wiff tho! <img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

It can cause health problems in very large quantitys but it depends partly on the base as to how toxic this stuff can be.
If you use 35 gallons or more a season then you should be concerned but otherwise you are probably ok

Nub, after leaving my batch sit for one week, I can still smell the peroxide. In comparing it to scentshield, it seems to be similar, except the peroxide odor. I am going to add three more parts distilled water, and three more parts baking soda. I`ll post the results when I test it later this week!

I used this stuff on some old Lacrosse arm pads that haven't been washed in months and some freshly used gym shorts that were smelling pretty ripe.

This stuff worked AWESOME, no smell. I even had my wife take a wiff because she can smell a little better then me and she was amazed!

I did pick up a hint of peroxide and I'm a little worried about the bleaching factor of my hair and clothes but so far this stuff is a winner.

hey, thanks for the tip ill have to give it a try. Good huntin.
