Bleaching a Sweater?

If I have a beige sweater, can I just wash it in the washer with bleach and it will become white?

I wouldn't count on it. Depends on what the sweater fabric is. Even if it's all cotton, you could end up with just bleach spots on the sweater. Part of it may stay beige and part could be white. If it's a synthetic fiber, it could all remain beige.

Probably not. You can get a colour remover from Rit, which is a common brand of clothing dye. However, I have never used it, and I don't know how well it works. Most synthetic fabrics will not take dye well, and so do not lose colour either.

If you like the sweater as it is, at all, I would leave it alone. Bleach will also weaken the fibres and may cause holes.
