In chemistry, to bleach something generally means to whiten it or oxidize it. A bleach is a chemical that exhibits these properties. Common chemical bleaches include sodium hypochlorite, or "chlorine bleach," and "oxygen bleach," which contains hydrogen peroxide. Bleaching can be a premiliminary step in the process of dyeing.

Bleach is commonly used as a disinfectant by homemakers and janitors.
