The concentrations in the household cleaner section are way too low to be usable for anything but small scale household cleanups.

There's a reason why you can't get industrial strength cleaners in a Walmart - too many people would either seriously injure themselves because they don't know they actually need PPE or otherwise this stuff will break down their skin, because they mix it and make enough mustard gas to actually kill them, or because they break down their homes because guess what, a highly acidic cleaning agent and most kinds of stone don't mix.

Of course, yes, one can try to concentrate H2O2 but there's easier and less messy ways to off oneself than this.




Yeah I didn't really challenge my friend on this that much so it could have been that they couldn't find the thing they wanted.

his thing was mostly "pharmacies don't have _anything_" which just feels like a pretty spurious claim.
