bleaching process

Stripping pigment away

A bleaching process is any method used to whiten or remove color from materials—textiles, paper, hair, teeth, or food products.

The process typically involves chemical agents like chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, or sunlight exposure that break down pigments.

The bleaching process left the fabric pristine white but slightly weakened the fibers.
