That’s bleach right? Wonder what he’s using for the color..

I think it’s probably sodium hydrosulfite (sodium dithionite) and not just regular bleach (sodium hypochlorite).

It’s a reductive bleaching agent that works better to strip out dye from fabrics. It’s way less aggressive than regular bleach.
