Bleaching Colored Clothing White?

So I have purple leggings and I want to tie dye them, but I don't want to use bleach what else can I use to make them white?

You cannot make a darker color white. You can tie dye it if you like.

Tie dye with bleach is fun! I am curious why you don't want to go that route. I did a few pieces several years ago and they turned out well.

That is the only way I know how to tie dye a dark item. If you do it, wear old clothes and gloves, eye protection also.

The same company that makes dyes also makes color remover:

Rit has a good colour remover but I am afraid that you will be unhappy with the results. It is very hard to get something, even if it's a natural fabric like cotton or wool to completely undye. The best you can probably expect is a not quite uniform faded yellow

even with bleach it would be hard because at the strength required it would probably degrade the fabric
