I've done this in the past and found that the Periodic Acid removes
Hematoxylin.  The eosin (most of it) was removed in the hydrating
alcohols and water after removing the mounting medium.  If you want
absolute quality control, you might consider H&E staining your
control slide and then use the destain "protocol" John Kiernan
provided, but I doubt most people will go to this length.
