Does bleach wear out denim?

Question

I want to spray a dark wash denim tote bag with bleach to get a cool design. I did it on a scrap piece of jean and it looked cool. But does bleach wear the denim out?

Answer 1

Yes, it can ware a hole it the fabric eventually.  Just make sure you rinse very well

Answer 2

If you maybe make a more dilute solution to bleach it, leave it on a bit longer than before and then wash it out well afterwards, it should be fine.
