In conclusion, while it's possible to bleach box-dyed hair, it's important to approach the process with caution. Bleaching can be damaging to hair, especially if it's already been colored.
Bleach strips the pigment from your hair shaft through the process of oxidation. It is impossible to make your hair a lighter shade without the help of a bleaching (or oxidising) agent. Hydrogen peroxide and ammonia are the most commonly used bleaching agents.
If the stain is still visible, soak the garment in oxygen-based color-safe bleach overnight. For white garments, soak in a diluted chlorine bleach solution for no more than 15 minutes. Wash the garment according to the care instructions. Check to make sure the stain has gone before drying.
Try Vinegar or Oxygen-Based Bleach
Vinegar and oxygen-based bleach are effective solutions for tackling color bleed on clothes.
Bleach works by releasing oxygen molecules in a process called oxidation. The oxygen molecules released by bleach break up the chemical bonds of chromophores. The changed chromophore molecules either reflect no color or a color outside the visible spectrum. This absence of color is seen by our eyes as white.
For those fabrics that can be bleached, you should be able to restore them using a bleach soaking solution. Start by adding ¼ cup Clorox® Disinfecting Bleach to one gallon of water in a plastic dishpan. Fully submerge items in the bleach solution for up to 5 minutes.

Ways to Fade Hair Color
Wash your hair with clarifying shampoo as soon as possible after dyeing it, then rinse with hot water to strip away the color. Try exposing your hair to the elements as well, like the sun, salt water, and chlorinated water. As a last resort, apply a chemical color remover to strip the dye.
Laundry detergent, oxygen-based bleach and chlorine bleach can be used to potentially remove black, brown or blue hair dye from clothes.
Bleaching is one of the most straightforward ways to lighten your hair, especially if you have previously colored tresses and want to go lighter — color does not lift color.
The short answer is yes, you can bleach over permanent hair color.
Use equal parts bleach and developer for the bleach wash ratio (use a developer with a low volume for a softer lightening effect). Add the bleach and developer mix to your clarifying shampoo. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Bleach Strength: You may need two to four sessions to achieve the desired levels of lift, depending on the strength of the bleaching agents.
To dye already dyed hair lighter, you may need to use a color remover or a bleach bath to lift the current color before applying the lighter shade. It's best to consult with a professional stylist to avoid damaging your hair and to achieve the desired result safely.
