So after reading the threads I found on Google my trx1 was left to soak in some 6% hydrogen peroxide in a jar. It's been in there for almost a week and there doesn't seem to be much or any improvement. It's sat on the window sil inside and when I'm...

Glad you had the right people in the right place to keep you kickin'. Mother in law smoked for years and was the primary reason she had many issues. Hard to see the decline and have my wife deal with it.
