Hydrogen Peroxide Remove Color

On whether hydrogen peroxide can fade
The world has asked: "Can hydrogen peroxide be de-colored?" Yes: "Hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing. It can change its color in many substances due to the effect of oxidation."

If there is a stain on the fabric, soak it in an appropriate amount of dioxy water, and it can often fade. Because the color of the stain is mostly caused by organic pigments. When hydrogen peroxide encounters such pigments, its oxygen atoms are active and can break the molecular structure of the pigment, causing its chromophore group to be destroyed and the color to disappear.

Of course, not everything is the case. For the color dyed by some pigments, or the substances treated by special chemicals, hydrogen peroxide may not be able to remove its color. Such as the color of mineral pigments, its chemical properties are stable, the oxidation power of hydrogen peroxide is difficult to shake its structure, and the color is difficult to fade.

In addition, to remove color with hydrogen peroxide, it is necessary to be careful. If the amount is small, it is not enough to achieve the effect of removing color; if the amount is large, it may damage the texture of the object. And things of different materials have different tolerance to hydrogen peroxide. If the fabric is not resistant to strong oxidation, over-use of hydrogen peroxide may cause its fibers to become brittle, which will damage its lifespan.

To sum up, hydrogen peroxide can indeed be de-colored in some cases. However, if it is used, it is necessary to carefully observe the material and color of the object, and the appropriate degree can be used to obtain good results. Do not use it rashly, so as not to outweigh the gains.
