    G'day;  I would most certainly call hydrogen peroxide a 'chemical'!

    It feels like it burns because it does, and yes it is a good bleach.
     I suggest you keep hands and flesh away from the 33% solution.   5
    -10% won't do any harm though; you can even use that strength to
    clean and sterilize cuts. -- Cheers for now,
