I believe it was Lew who said he used hydrogen peroxide to clean his vessels. I had a glass jar which was very golden colored from much use and was unable to clean it with the weapons I normally use. That is, elbow grease, soda, detergents, scrubbers, etc.
I tried his trick and it really worked so well I am interested in what the reaction was that did the job. I noticed that it foamed quite strongly when I put it in the jar. Within a few minutes the jar was sparkling clean. It took a little longer for the dark stains at the bottom of the vessel to disappear. Can somebody please tell me why the reaction occurs? I thought silver was relatively inert and non reactive except with certain acids. Or am I the only one who tried this trick? It sure is a good one! Thanks Lew, if it was you.
