I think it's quite useful stuff, since it leaves nothing harmful.
I've seen it recommended for a whole lot of applications, not sure how
much of that is really working. I tried one time to use it as bleach in
the washing machine but could not detect any effect.
Seems like a good alternative for those people who have to disinfect
everything in the house all the time, with H2O2 they would at least do no
harm. But then there was that story about parents accidentally giving
their child concentrated H2O2 internally, leading to serious injury. Your
body was _not_ meant to process H2O2, so don't drink your PCB making
chemicals ;-).
