Why would you want to use non-chlorhine wash?

I stopped using chlorine bleach, because it's too toxic. It wreaked havoc on my sinuses and skin. Also, bleach is corrosive. It is only good for brightening white cotton. Use it on anything else and it will spot and otherwise ruin clothing. Use it too much on whites, they'll eventually turn yellow or wear out faster because of the bleach use. Chlorine bleach is not good for colors as I've explained before, however great substitutes exist. I use hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar and baking soda. I've never combined all three. These concoctions are color safe and brighten or whiten just fine without the allergic effects of chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach is icky. I will never use it again.

In a way. It causes the bleach to liberate chlorine faster than it normally would; the less chlorine in solution, the lower the effect. The flip side is, hot water itself has a sterilizing effect, but it's not as great as bleach's effect.

Will non chlorine bleach return white clothes to white after they were washed with pink?

No, only chlorine bleach (if you're lucky) can do that magic trick! Non-chlorine bleach (hydrogen peroxide and citric acid) is good at removing organic stains like grass or blood stains. It's not so effective against inorganic stains (pink ink.) On the other hand, if you accidentally put some beet juice in with the wash, non-chlorine bleach would work.
