The hydrogen peroxide you can commonly purchase at the pharmacy is a 3% dilution of hydrogen peroxide and used commonly as an antiseptic to treat minor cuts, skin abrasions and burns. This hydrogen peroxide can usually be found in a brown or dark bottles; this is due to the fact that hydrogen peroxide is naturally unstable and deteriorates rapidly in light. Because of its unstable nature, it is not the best surface disinfectant as it doesn’t allow enough sit time before the solution becomes inactive.
Accelerated hydrogen peroxide on the other hand is a
“formulation of Hydrogen Peroxide, surfactants and other inert ingredients which results in less active ingredient but better cleaning and faster germicidal performance than Hydrogen Peroxide at 3% with water (At the In-Use dilution of AHP for environmental surfaces the active ingredient is only 0.5%).”
