Not sure if this helps. You might have to do a test. I dulute hydrogen peroxide with water (1 peroxide:6 water) and put it in a mister bottle. Many folks with nurseries (including myself) use this to sterilize beds of germinating seed. The seed and seedlings are not hurt. I also use this mixture when cleaning snake cages. I spray and wipe dry with paper towels, without rinsing. Frank
