In a conventional bleaching method using an oxidizing agent and ordinary ultraviolet / visible light, a hydroxyl radical generated by a photochemical reaction process by irradiation of ultraviolet / visible light with hydrogen peroxide reacts with the coloring substance to produce the hydroxyl radical. Although it is thought that the decomposition or colorless reaction of the coloring substance occurs, the molar extinction coefficient of hydrogen peroxide in the ultraviolet and visible regions is extremely small as compared with ordinary aromatic compounds and organic compounds having a conjugated system.
The concentration of photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals is only low, and as a result, sufficient bleaching effect cannot be obtained as compared with the halogen bleaching method, long processing time, high temperature processing, etc. The problem was included.

In the present invention, when ultraviolet / visible laser light is selected as the ultraviolet / visible light, it becomes possible to increase the concentration of the hydroxyl radical necessary for performing the decomposition or colorless reaction of the coloring substance. Since the reaction is remarkably accelerated as compared with the case of irradiation with ordinary ultraviolet / visible light, the time required for the bleaching time and the bleaching temperature can be reduced. It has a remarkable action and effect, such as high performance, and capable of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and being environmentally friendly.
