Thanks so much for the information Brooks. I have never heard of
Sodium Perborate. Could you explain the protocol and where it may be
obtained?
Thanks again,

It serves as a source of active oxygen
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_oxygen> in many detergents
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detergent>, laundry detergents
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry_detergent>, cleaning products
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaning_product>, and laundry bleaches
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach>.^[1]

It is also present in some tooth bleaching
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_bleaching> formulas. It is used as a
bleaching agent for internal bleaching of a tooth that has had root
canal treatment. The sodium perborate is placed inside the tooth and
left in place for an extended period of time to allow it to diffuse into
the tooth and bleach stains from the inside out. It has antiseptic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiseptic> properties and can act as a
disinfectant <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfectant>. It is also
used as a "disappearing" preservative
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preservative> in some brands of eye drops
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_drop>.
Sodium perborate is a less aggressive bleach than sodium hypochlorite
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite>, causing less
degradation to dyes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye> and textiles
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile>. Borates also have some
non-oxidative bleaching properties.
