A bleach is a chemical that can remove or lighten color, usually via oxidation. Rubbing alcohol can often be used to remove stains depending on their size. It works best with smaller stains. To remove a stain using rubbing alcohol apply the alcohol to a cotton ball and then rub the stain and the area around it. The rubbing alcohol will help distribute the original color of the clothing so that it begins to cover the stained area. This method is best used on darker colored items. Light colored items or items with larger stains tend not to absorb the color as well.
