cleaning carbon steel with hydrogen peroxide 1

[jeffhogie]

I am trying to determine if it is safe/acceptable to clean carbon steel pipe with a hydrogen-peroxide and water solution.

Does anybody know the answer to this question? If a source where this is stated can also be included it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

- Jeff
