I know this is out of place here, but this is very urgent. I need to find
a way to completely sterilize a bamboo flute without disturbing the finish,
using chemicals that can be found in a high school chemistry lab.

Thanks a lot.

P.S. No, boiling the flute WILL disturb the finish, potassium canNOT be found
in a high school lab, and alcohol may leave an odor.
