hope that helped

If you're buying it to de-mould tent fabric (any fabric), don't hesitate to say so if you are asked. It's a well accepted use, and chemists will not have any problem with it.

yeah but hydrogen peroxide says on it use for mouthwash ect, iv had a few people try to buy it in our local boots but they wouldn't sell it them as its some form of rule or something? just what customers have said

Your customers, or Boots? If yours, with just a superficial bacterial infection showing, Boots may still have wanted them to refer back to you, and/or see a GP, to exclude toxaemia - otherwise it's an over the counter general purpose chemical product (no different to chlorine bleach in that sense), as well as a pharmaceutical product not subject to prescription. The only regulation affecting it I can quickly find on Google, is an EU ban on offering it for sale specifically for whitening teeth.

Savvy chemists though would report any large scale purchasing to their local MI5 person, as concentrated H2O2 has other applications we should not discuss here - let's just say it was the "T-stoff" component, mixed with "C-stoff", a methanol compound, to propel Nazi Germany's Me 163 rocket fighter even faster than a V6 Bongo. How did you get hold of a large quantity?

Q.) How do you refuel an Me 163, Fritz?

A.) Very very carefully

I've been using clove oil for the last 2 or 3 years with success (both to clean and act as a preventative measure), but on a couple of occasions have used Dettol when the staining has been a little more serious. I hate using it though. I wonder if anyone has tried using Vanish carpet and upholstery cleaner? Is it the same sort of stuif as Astonish? It says "Oxi action" on the label, so is it hydrogen peroxide based? If it's OK on carpets, its probably OK on the roof tent?

Looks to be Hydrogen Peroxide according to this product sheet http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/mvf-st ... /52110.pdf rather strangely I couldn't find any safety information linked from the main Vanish web site at all!
