Yes, go to a hazardous waste facility and watch them laugh their asses off at you after you pay them to take hydrogen peroxide off your hands.   

The ingredients of oxyclean aren&#039;t much worse, and there isn&#039;t going to be enough dissolved solid from the plastic to matter.  

Seriously, you&#039;re going to go into some paranoid &quot;all chemicals are dangerous!!!!!1&quot; crap, worry about the hormone pills, birth control rings, and antidepressants that every whore in the country is flushing down the toilet, because they&#039;re not filtering it out at the water treatment plant.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s pretty funny that it took these guys all that time to figure it out. All July? Come on. . Even I figured this out in a few minutes years ago when I wanted to restore my NES. //Be careful for the logos though, H202 can turn that stuff pink.
Anyway. The gel feature is the epic feature of there product though. It&#039;s awesome. I just think the H202 and the oxygen cleaner (I used Ajax Oxygen bleach cleaner http://content.etilize.com/Large/11961841.jpg) on some surfaces when I used to do this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is like something off an Anarchy BBS from the 80&#039;s. Or the scene in the motel in Terminator when they start making pipe bombs.

Peroxide, Thickeners, UV Lamps and Tin Foil

So many, many uses. 

I never thought cleaning C64&#039;s and such was one of them.

PS: if you make this stuff, please, please, please dont just dump the used stuff down the drain.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@_matt: (&quot;did anyone at the time know that the plastic would change color with age?&quot;)

Plastic engineers are notorious for being conservative about swapping out substances in well-known formulations because you often don&#039;t know how they&#039;ll react over time, even with simulated aging. 

I sat in on a lecture discussing environmental impacts of certain plastic additives, and the prof showed results of a compound which looked great in the lab but still got a &quot;f&#039; that&quot; response from industry because they&#039;d been using the other one for years and years.

So, I have no idea; but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if the flame retardant additive was the result of regulations and it was the best they could do at the time.]]></description>
