Question: how long can you leave bleach on clothes?
Answer: Stain fighter: Chlorine bleach can remove stains such as coffee, chocolate, grass and tea on whites (again, be sure to read care labels), Cobb says. Add 1/4 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water and soak the clothes for only 5 to 10 minutes; any more, and you'll start to break down the fabric.
