Cameron , What about Peroxyacetic Acid ? copied from a webpage somewhere ... "Peroxyacetic Acid, like hydrogen peroxide, is an oxidizing agent. Formulated as a liquid, peroxyacetic acid is used as a disinfectant and sanitizer, and is usually applied as a spray, or as a mop-on solution." But the stuff might be foul-tasting, semi-toxic, & corrosive for all i know ... Hey, wait a minute. doesn't that describe a certain someone's "Insanit..." extract sauce??! still waiting for the "official" word from the producer... regards peter g Cameron Begg wrote: > >The only other contender I can think of is perchloric acid - but that seems a bit extreme for washing pepper pods. > >
