 Re: Hydrogen peroxide and reeds
Author: L. Omar Henderson

There was a recent discussion on using OxyClean on mouthpieces - search. IMHO OxyClean should not be used on reeds or mouthpieces. OxyClean is a sodium percarbonate compound which generates a milder form of oxygen bleaching than hydrogen peroxide but must be in an alkaline environment to work and it makes the reeds taste awful (I've tried it). The branded name of OxyClean contains fillers which are no doubt responsible for this bad taste. It does not have the same bactercidal or fungicidal capabilities of peroxide and causes greater structural damage to the reeds than hydrogen peroxide (3 %).
