1. A method of selectively degrading hydrogen peroxide in an antimicrobial composition, comprising:

  • (a) providing an antimicrobial composition comprising hydrogen peroxide, carboxylic acid, and peracid;

    (b) providing a split cell comprising a first loop comprising an anode in fluid communication with the antimicrobial composition, and a second loop comprising a cathode in fluid communication with a reducing solution, the first loop and the second loop being in electrical communication with one another using a salt bridge; and

    (c) providing an electric potential from a power supply thereby causing the reducing solution to accept electrons from the antimicrobial composition in order to selectively remove hydrogen peroxide from the antimicrobial composition by degradation.
