Hey friend

here is your answer

H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide acts as a strong oxidizing agent both in acidic and basic media. When added to a cloth, it breaks the chemical bonds of the chromophores (colour producing agents). ... Thus the bleaching action of H2O2 is due to the oxidation of colouring matter by nascent oxygen.

thanks

AS h2o2 is a strong oxidizing agent it breaks chemical bond of colouring impurities and nascent oxygen combines with impurities which in turn makes them oxidized
