Removing Cacium Hypochlorite Stain
Recently i spilled some Ca(ClO)2 on a hat of mine and i need the stain removed. Does anyone know of a chemical that reacts with it that wil allow me
to save the hat?
I seem to have difficulty referencing my hobbies as "safe".

You just bleached the hat...hypochlorites do that to you.
At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...

The bleaching action is irreversible. I do not think you can recover the hat, except maybe by dyeing it again.

we just lost a pillow case to sodium hypochlorite chlorinator, having a pool on the property. I have noticed it's a lot cheaper to dilute the 12.5%
stuff for household use, as opposed to buying the gallons from the supermarket( normally 2.5%-8.25%max ). the mason jar got left out empty after use,
no visible liquid but there was enough residue in it to bleach the pillowcase from 8" away by vapor. it *was* bright lime green no less, all the way
to white blotch with yellow edges. of course it was folded so there are multiples of the fade repeated  told my lady, only option is to live with it or try to dye it to complement or contrast the rest.
the shock packets are calcium hypochlorite, tabs and powder are Trichloroisocyanuric acid, or Dichloroisocyanuric acid. all capable of bleaching
things into oblivion, but because of the form usually less of a problem. just gotta say, a pool is expensive always buying chlorine at least half a gallon of chlorinator( 12.5% Na Hypochlorite) a day when its really
hot and sunny. but it is nice to have a reason to have the stuff laying around.

As they say, ya gotta get busy living, or get busy dying.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
