Silver and Hydrogen Peroxide have a chemical reaction with each other.
Now they are referring to a more concentrated H2O2 than store bought stuff but they react nonetheless so no I wouldn't clean anything silver with H2O2.
Edit: Distilled water is used to make colloidal water. It involves getting distilled water boiling and adding silver (to oversimplify). I don't think room temperature distilled water wouldn't hurt.
Acetone is a common go to 'cleaner' for silver coins. It won't damage the surface but can remove residue or gunk typically.

Silver and hydrogen peroxide reaction
Hydrogen peroxide's chemical formula is H 2O 2. When it comes into contact with silver, the silver acts as a catalyst. The reaction frees the extra oxygen atom to produce water, and also generates a lot of heat. The heat turns the water into steam, which the engine can eject at a very high speed through a rocket nozzle.
