Despite claims of the purity of 35% peroxide, there ARE also other substances in it, from manufacturing contamination. H202 is so highly corrosive it leaches some of everything it touches into itself. I saw some analyses of what exactly the contaminants are in the 35% H202, and so the claims of how awful the stabilizers in 3% H202 are has never impressed me. Some brands of 3 % may have more or different stabilizers from other brands though. And unless you test the 35% against the 3% in the equivalent strengths in the SAME batch of CS it can't be said with certainty that the reason for the difference is that one is "contaminated" and one is not. Even with stabilizers, peroxide does weaken with age so it could also be the freshness or not of the 3%. H202 is unstable even with "stabilizers" added, LOL.Which is why I liked it as a cleaner for pet urine stains on carpet----------blot up the urine so far as possible, literally pour on some peroxide (3%) walk away. Cover with towel if pets will walk on the peroxide wet spot. The peroxide oxidizes the organic molecules in the urine, and as it does so it degrades into water itself, leaving behind no odor of its own, and the vanishingly small traces of stabilizers. Yeah, I'm a lazy cleaner, LOL.
