Yes I take your point, however, it would take perhaps only a single drop of a dilute bleach solution to oxidise the purple pigment but I withdraw the suggestion.

Most chlorine based bleaches, that you can buy over the counter, contain hypochlorite ions, however, they are still ions. Both chloride and hypochlorite ions are water soluble but again I would not use a method with which you are unhappy.
