[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 142885, member: 60"]I used the same percentages, 30% or 40% from Sally's Beauty Supply without any effect to the gold trim. I've also diluted it with water and still had great results. It isn't cheap so I decided to see if it would work even if diluted and it worked great, just took a little longer. Always use rubber gloves! They also sell this in a cream. I've used the cream on pieces that just had a small stained area and it wasn't necessary to do the entire piece. I put the creme directly on the stain and then covered it with a damp paper towel cut slightly larger than the stained area. I check it every few hours, but sometimes, it might take a day or two or require a second application depending on the stain. Always do this with rubber gloves! I also tried using OxiClean. It is less expensive to use but it takes longer. It doesn't burn the skin like Peroxide. I've never baked pieces after cleaning.
