Unload bleach? (7)

I believe the answer is:

lighten

This clue is a double definition.

'unload' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'bleach?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for lighten that I've seen before include "Make paler" , "Make less dark or heavy" , "Become less serious" , "Make less burdensome" , "Get blonde" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
