    Do you know which one of the two: Polyester or Rayon don't fade when washed with bleach?

    Definitely use poly, rayon shouldn't be bleached.

    Poly! Rayon isn't colorfast and is also easier to melt.

    definitly poly. my DD is a pro machine embroiderer and does school swim suits, always uses poly because of chlorine in the water.
