Use of peroxide here (South Africa) is done out of a little bottle, the keys sit out in the sun (which we have quite a lot of) and get swabbed ever half an hour or so, so being in the sun peroxide dries up very quickly. If you use indoors under UV you may get the problem below. One checks that the keys are not loose before being put outside and glue them back on as needed.
