The invention relates to the use of hydrogen peroxide in disinfection regimens and to a means for dissipating residual hydrogen peroxide which may be present on or absorbed in the treated substance or items after disinfection is completed. In particular, the invention provides for the treatment of any bacteria contaminated object or surface with hydrogen peroxide to effect sterilization and thereafter removing any hydrogen peroxide remaining with the treated item by contacting it with a sterile aqueous solution containing pyruvic acid or any water soluble salt thereof in an amount which is effective to react with and decompose the hydrogen peroxide. The present invention represents a significant and unique departure from known methods in that it works well with plastic components such as soft contact lenses without any adverse deterioration of the lens. |
