Did you know that there is a kind of bleach called reduction bleach? There are many people who have never heard of it and do not know what kind of stain it is effective for. It is mainly used for business. If you know how to use reduced bleach, the dirt at home that could not be removed with bleach may also be cleaned. Let me introduce you to the proper usage and precautions.
What is reduction bleach in the first place?
What is the difference between ‘reducing bleach’, which is usually unfamiliar, and how it is bleached?
Bleaching method is different.
Chlorine-based and oxygen-based bleaches are commonly used in households. All in all, it is called an oxidized bleach. By oxidizing the stain, that is, combining it with oxygen, it breaks down the pigment.
Reducing bleach, on the other hand, can break down pigments by taking oxygen from dirt.
Features of reducing bleach.
The main function of reducing bleach is to break down pigments. Therefore, you should avoid using it as a color pattern. It is only used to remove stains on white clothes and restore them to their original whiteness. Also, the bleaching method is different from the commonly used oxidized bleach. Therefore, there are cases where stains and stains that have not been removed by oxidized bleach can be removed, so it is worth a try.
The difference between reducing bleach and other types.
Bleach is roughly divided into ‘oxidized bleach’ and ‘reduced bleach’. Among them, oxidized bleaches are classified as ‘chlorine-based’ and ‘oxygen-based’. Let’s use it after capturing each characteristic.
Chlorine-based bleach.
The component used in chlorine bleach is sodium hypochlorite. It has the strongest bleaching effect among bleaches. As well as bleaching, it also has sterilization and sterilizing effects, so it is also included in mold removers. Use in clothing is only a bleach used to remove white fiber stains and dullness.
Oxygen-based bleach.
Hydrogen peroxide is used in oxygen-based bleaches. It has a relatively mild bleaching effect. It will be easier to use for colored laundry than other bleaches. You can also wash it by applying it on dirt. It can be said that it is a convenient bleach because it can be used in various cloth products.
Reducing bleach.
The ingredients used in reducing bleach include thiourea dioxide. Reducing bleach is characterized by removing oxygen from dirt.
In particular, it is effective in dirt caused by rust, which cannot be removed by oxidized bleach. Iron rust is an oxidized state when iron reacts with air or water, and it can be bleached by removing oxygen from it.
