Question

Enlist the differentiate between oxidising and reducing bleaches.

Answer 1

1. Oxidising Bleaches:
   1. These bleaches release oxygen, which combines with the coloured part of the stain and converts it into colourless compounds.
   2. These bleaches should be used for the least time required. Longer contact will damage the fabric.
   3. These bleaches are mostly used for white kinds of cotton.
2. Reducing Bleaches:
   1. These bleaches remove oxygen from the coloured part of the stains by converting them into colourless compounds.
   2. These bleaches are largely used in commercial laundry.
