Bleaching is a process carried out before, during, or after washing to improve the removal of dirt and stains and/or to increase the degree of whiteness. Active chlorine (e.g., bleach) or chlorine-free active oxygen-releasing products (contained in heavy-duty or universal detergents) are used.
Oxygen bleaching agents cover a wide range of different activated and non-activated bleaching systems with varying degrees of activity (e.g., oxy products).
