Instructions:

1. Safety Precautions:

- Put on rubber gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from bleach.

2. Prepare the Bleach Solution:

- In a large basin or bucket, mix one part bleach with ten parts water. For example, if you are using 1 cup of bleach, mix it with 10 cups of water.

3. Soak the Black Clothes:

- Immerse the black clothes in the bleach solution, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Stir the solution to distribute the bleach evenly.

4. Monitor the Bleaching Process:

- Let the clothes soak in the bleach solution for a few minutes, but keep a close eye on them. The bleaching process can happen quickly, and you don't want to leave the clothes in the solution for too long, as it may cause damage.

5. Rinse Thoroughly:

- After a few minutes, remove the clothes from the bleach solution and rinse them thoroughly with cold water until all traces of bleach have been removed.

6. Wash as Usual:

- Wash the bleached clothes with a regular laundry detergent and follow the care instructions on the garment label.

7. Dry the Clothes:

- Dry the bleached clothes according to the care instructions. It's recommended to air-dry them rather than using a dryer to avoid heat damage.

8. Inspect the Results:

- Once the clothes are dry, inspect them to ensure that the bleaching was successful. If there are any areas that need further bleaching, you can repeat the process with caution.

Note:

- Always follow the care instructions on the garment label to avoid damaging the fabric.

- It's advisable to test the bleach solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment before applying it to the entire piece.

- If you are bleaching a large amount of clothing or a particularly delicate item, consider taking it to a professional dry cleaner to ensure proper handling.
