Color safe bleach can do what chlorine bleach can — remove stains, brighten clothes, and clean laundry — but without fading the garments to white. Use color-safe bleach on your colored clothes when they’re sporting a tough stain, looking a little dingy or just needing to be brightened.
What’s the difference between bleach and Color Safe Bleach?
Color safe bleach contains different ingredients than regular bleach. Color safe bleach or nonchlorine bleach contains a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The bleach is regarded as safer for the environment and will not harm colored fabrics the way regular bleach does.
Does Color Safe Bleach work as well as regular bleach?
The color safe version of bleach is many degrees milder than traditional bleach, and thus could be used with pretty much any colors and fabrics. Almost all types of washable garments can be laundered with color safe bleach.
Do you need to use Color Safe Bleach?
Color-safe bleach is useful if you need to whiten or lighten up an item that cannot be bleached with chlorine bleach, that has a stain that’s out of the ordinary on it (you spilled red wine, fruit juice, blood, or something colored), or that has been run though the wash but a stain did not come out.
How do you use Clorox Color Safe Bleach?
Mix 1 capful of Clorox 2® for Colors with 1 quart water, and soak for up to 60 minutes. Wash as usual with detergent and Clorox 2® for Colors.
Does color bleach disinfect?
Color safe bleach does not disinfect, either. There are other options for colors. Never pour bleach directly into the machine as it can ruin/weaken the fabrics it touches before diluting. Bleach also works much better in hot water.
Which is better OxiClean or Clorox?
Clorox 2 is best for loads with lots of very bright colors, and for stains that have been on the clothing for some time. Oxiclean is best for older clothing that needs rejuvenating and with lighter colored clothing.

Using bleach on colors
Peroxide bleach doesn’t contain chlorine, and is referred to on garment care labels as “non-chlorine bleach”. If unsure bleach is safe for an item, test on a hidden area before washing with bleach. Always avoid bleaching wool, silk, mohair, leather, spandex, and non-fast colors.
Can I use Color Safe Bleach on white clothes?
For whites-with-colors that don’t like regular bleach and/or hot water, you can switch those out with a color-safe “bleach” (which contains hydrogen-peroxide) and/or cool water and still add the dye catcher. Those articles won’t be disinfected, but they should still be acceptably white.
