Best answer

Chlorine is a strong oxidising and bleaching agent because of the nascent oxygen.

Colouring matter + Nascent oxygen → Colourless oxidation product 

Therefore, bleaching of chlorine is permanent. It oxidises ferrous salts to ferric, sulphites to sulphates and hydrogen sulphide to sulphur.
