Oh, that green guy's got it To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU In-Reply-To: Your message of Fri, 15 Nov 2002 17:58:04 +1300 X-RCPT-TO: Status: R X-UIDL: 277600600 X-Evolution-Source: pop://mailinglist%40farcite.net@mail.farcite.net/ Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Evolution: 00000730-0000 Potassium permanganate stains things a rather nice dark purple (or brown, once it's been reduced a bit.) It cleans up rather easilly with some acidic hydrogen peroxide (househole peroxide and vinegar; nothing exotic.) (This is an oxygen-releasing process that can be used to REMOVE stains, but it might also bleach some fabric dyes.) In dilute solutions (which are STILL deep purple), it shouldn't be TOO harmful (it's been used as an antifungal foot-soak.)
