In the presence of metal surfaces or traces of alkali (present in glass containers), the above reaction is catalyzed. It is, therefore, stored in wax-lined glass or plastic vessels in dark. Urea can be added as a stabilizer. It is kept away from dust because dust can induce explosive decomposition of the compound.

Hydrogen peroxide is kept in wax lined glass or plastic vessels in dark because H2O2 decomposes slowly on exposure to light.
