Color Removers

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Color removers are laundry solutions that allow a piece of clothing to have its colors removed nearly completely. Some prints and colors may not be able to be removed completely.

Color removers can also be used on white clothing to brighten and whiten. Sometimes color removers are used to remove dyes that transfer to other clothes in the washing machine.

Because color removers work to remove all color from clothing they should be used with caution. Follow all directions.
