In chemistry, to bleach something generally means to whiten it or oxidize it. A bleach is a chemical that can produce these effects. Common chemical bleaches include sodium hypochlorite, or "chlorine bleach," and "oxygen bleach," which contains hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide-releasing compound (eg. sodium perborate, or sodium percarbonate). "Bleaching powder" is calcium hypochlorite. Bleaching can be a preliminary step in the process of dyeing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bleach"
