>Hydrogen peroxide... I don't know; I get it in concentrated 20-liter bottles from a chemical supplier through my university.<

Lower concentration hydrogen peroxide is available as a first aid disinfectant.  It is also the active ingredient in some hair bleaching solutions (hence peroxide blondes).  I know of a geologist who had good success disaggregating sediment with one of the standard brands.  Watching the sediment bubble will probably discourage you from using it on your hair.
