 Before cotton and linen are immersed in bleaching

chemicals, such as natural impurities as wax and oil must be removed. The cloth is scrubbed and boiled in large kettles, known as kiers. It is then placed for bleaching in a water solution of sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite. The hypochlorite ion, or the chlorine formed by the decomposition of hypochlorite ions, oxidizes the natural gray or brown coloring matter of the cloth, changing it into a colorless compound. As a result the textile becomes white.
