As runners inhale the fine particles that make up the colorful clouds that characterize color runs, the dust settles into airways, eventually sitting deep in the lungs.

How do you bleach clothes?

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. If you have stains on pastel, colorfast clothes, try soaking them in all-fabric bleach, which is gentler than chlorine bleach.
